Hide and Seek

So, apparently today is Teacher’s Day here in Mexico and in honor of all the teachers, they have given me the day off.  This is Dave, by the way.

I got to spend a couple hours with Dex, chasing him around the apartment for a while and, now that he’s mobile, we can play games like “Hide n’ Seek” and “See how long it takes me to grab a handful of dog food”.

I would have taken some pictures of the latter, but I had to choose between preventing the aforementioned event or documenting it and letting him play with trachea-sized doggie kibble.

Without further ado, our game of Hide-n-Seek, I was able to keep his attention for a whole 10 seconds.

I found you! YAY! Ok, now you bore me…

Día de Las Madres

Yesterday was Día de las Madres in Mexico and I was given a 1/2 day at work.

There is no better way to spend an afternoon than with baby giggles and airplane rides!

More Teeth

Dexter is cutting more teeth!  His hands are constantly in his mouth … it’s no wonder he’s had a cold all week.

Escape Route

Dexter found a way out!

Little does he know that the terrace is enclosed … thankfully he hasn’t learned yet that pushing the elevator button is REALLY the way to escape the apartment.

 

 

Scout

Uncle Marc and Aunt Mikhi gave Dexter Scout, the talking dog, for Christmas.  We can sync it with a program online so the dog says Dexter’s name, his favorite food, color, animal … it’s pretty cute.

And Dexter LOVES Scout.  He could be on the other side of the room, but if he hears Scout’s voice, he speed-crawls over to him!

Happy Birthday, Daddy!

Dexter would be so lucky to grow up to be just like his daddy.

Happy Birthday, Dave … we love you!

Swing!

Dexter was finally able to try out the swings in the park by our apartment.

There is no doubt – he is in love!

Here’s to you, Grandma Renee!  May your day be filled with THIS MUCH happiness …

Standing

Standing is fun, I guess … but then again so is doing back-bends over Mom’s knee.

Books

Dexter loves story time, he also loves emptying things (boxes, drawers, shelves, etc.).   And so A BOOKSHELF is his dream come true!

But all that emptying is not in vain, he does take the time to page through the books he throws on the floor.

Remember when story time was simpler? {here}

There’s Something About Dexter

Dexter was being goofy while eating yesterday and “head-butted” a spoonful of mashed prunes.  The whole spoonful landed in his hair.  Even after a good scrub with a washcloth I just couldn’t get it all out.

All I can think about is Cameron Diaz in There’s Something About Mary
