Is there anything more heartwarming than baby giggles?

Dave captured this photo when he was playing with Dexter. I think it might be one of my favorites. There’s something so innocent and comfortable about the photo, as if the camera wasn’t even there.

Dexter believes anything that lands in his mouth is his to keep … even the spoon that delivers the food. He’ll hold it like this until he gives me a little yell for not putting more food on the spoon.

This is a habit we need to break soon, but in the meantime the spoon chomp-down is keeping us quite entertained!

Since Dexter is on the verge of crawling, I thought he should start setting his sights on the next milestone … walking!

Now that Dexter is 8 months, do you think he looks like more Mommy or Daddy?

The last time we did this poll was at 4 months (here) and Daddy won 63% to Mommy’s 37%.

Carol, children, Dexter, family, life, parenting

Dexter has had so many milestones in the last 8 months, it’s about time he celebrate someone else’s.

Dexter says, “Happy 75th Birthday, Great Grandma Carol. I love you!”

Those words are a direct translation from bahbahbahbahbahbah.

I came home the other day to find this beautifully constructed tower. I was sure it solidified Dexter’s future as an architect like Mommy … until I actually saw his interest in the tower.

Maybe, instead, Daddy should pick up a minor in architecture while at med school.

I heard a fuss from Dexter, looked over, and couldn’t help but laugh when I saw what was going on. It was probably cruel of me to photograph the situation instead of instantly helping …

And how did the mirror get so far away? We videotaped this right after he went through all that work to get the mirror:

Dexter just learned to give kisses.

He is excellent at making a “kissy face” but when he wants to give a REAL kiss he grabs two fistfuls of hair and doesn’t let go until his big goobery kiss has been planted.
