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.

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

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.
