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:

Love Hurts

children, Dexter, kisses, life, Mandy, mommy, parenting, personal

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.

The jumpy jungle gym is by far the longest-standing form of entertainment for Dexter.  The spinning lizard and pop-up tiger just never get old!

Dexter has realized he really CAN move!  He can go anywhere … as long as it is behind him.

He has only conquered the backward scoot.

Poor little Dex spiked a fever yesterday morning.  We battled through a whole day of rising and falling temperatures.  The upside is that he was able to spend a whole day at home with Mommy and the puppies.

Judging by the smiles in these pictures, you would think he was just playing hooky!

Dexter and I have worked out a great system for baking cookies.  I add all the ingredients, mix them up … and he eats the top of the spoon.

If he thinks this end of the spoon tastes good …

Welcome to Daily Dex!

We live in Mexico City, Mexico. Our families live in the Midwest, USA. The distance didn't seem so bad when it was just my husband and I, but after Dexter arrived, and especially after Alexandra arrived, 1500 miles was just too much for our families.

Shortly after Dexter was born, so was Daily Dex: our little blog is designed to be a safe haven for all the gushing, bragging and sharing of Dexter’s & Alex's daily accomplishments and adorable little milestones.

In other words, if you came here – you are asking for it!
