Dexter has been rolling for about a month now, but it wasn’t until just now that I was able to capture it on video … with a little help from Sophie.

Dexter is more and more curious about the dogs every day and his face lights up when of them walks by.  As evidenced by the photo, Charlie seems to be his favorite.

He’s not angry or upset, he just wants to be heard.

Don’t worry, Dexter we hear you …. the whole building hears you!

Dexter loves standing and jumping!  His coordination is slow to follow his desire to be a part of our up-right world and resembles more of a baby-Mambo.

Check out the video of Dexter’s moves!

Too Small

“Too Small” seems to be the theme with all of Dexter’s clothes lately.  I swear these pajamas fit him last night when I put him to bed … and now he can barely stretch his legs out!

Looks like we’re moving up to 6-9 month size already!

Did you know that Dexter is a musician?  That’s right he can play not one, but TWO instruments … at the same time.

You saw it here first: a four-month-old playing a guitar while also using it to play the drums.

H-O-M-E never sounded so good!

Dexter is still not 100% better, and we are on a strict schedule of giving him treatments with the nebulizer, but we are all breathing a little easier knowing he is well enough to be back home.

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!
