Dexter continues to sleep like a champ and only gets up once at night.  So now there’s nothing left to do in his nursery except take pictures!

Photo credit goes to Dave on this one

Dexter has officially outgrown his newborn clothes.  I got a small tear in my eye as I updated his dresser with 0-3 month clothes.  My teeny tiny baby is already turning into a little boy!

At only 7 weeks, Dexter is no stranger to the kitchen and a little housework.

At what age is it appropriate to start the “Chore Chart”???

 

Baking Cupcakes

Grocery Shopping

 

Folding Laundry

 

Making the Bed

… and that was it!  Dexter has hit a much-appreciated milestone: he only woke up one time last night!  Granted, this milestone could use some perfecting, but we are happy with the progress.

This is the face of a well rested little boy!

Lefty?

We are anxious to see if Dexter will be a lefty like his daddy and Grandma Renee … or a righty like the rest of the world.  So far it’s looking like lefty.  He is just starting to grab objects if we put them in his hand.  He can hang onto to things by himself in his left hand, but still needs help with his right.

On a side note, we were trying to make the sounds for the animals on his jungle gym but are at a loss for what noises an elephant or giraffe make.  We were thoroughly entertained while we tried various noises … but, none seemed quite right.  And now I am certain Dexter thinks he has crazies for parents!

You Spin Me Right Round, Baby, Right Round ….

Dexter is on the move!

When we go into his room he is rarely in the same place as when we lay him down.  But he’s not moving laterally … he’s just spinning himself in circles.

These photos were staged, but by no means an exaggeration!

By 8:30 this morning, Dexter was already ready for his first nap of the day- proof of his extremely early wake-up.  Looks like Mommy & Daddy might have to change their bedtime to an earlier hour if there is any hope of keeping up!

I feel incredibly lucky for the enormous amount of help I got during my first 6 weeks with Dexter.  (Thank you Grandmas and Grandpas!)

However, all the help made me  a little tentative on my first day … alone.  But it’s only 11:00 and already we both have had breakfast, a bath and a breath of fresh outside air.

I have a mobile!
Mmm, breakfast!

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!
