Bedtime Snuggles

Everyone now and then, after he finishes his bottle, Dexter will flip over and snuggle up.  I would sit like this for the whole night if Dave would let me.

Really, there is nothing more heart-warming than your baby snuggling.

Dexter usually thinks telling secrets is pretty funny.  He wasn’t believing a word I had to say this time.

I’m still debating if these pictures were worth the mess, but Dexter had a lot of fun for the 3 minutes it took to splash all the water out of the bowl!

Our dog Chloe is a licker.  We’ve done our best to curb the habit, but she still sneaks them in in what we call drive-by-licks.

We caught her in action here:

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…

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!

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

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.

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!

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!
