Dexter has become quite the little noise maker!  He has discovered how to make a buzzing sound and it is his new favorite thing to do … we may have a future Louis Armstrong on our hands.

I caught a few of his personal concerts throughout the week on video.

Dexter has graduated to a new level of entertainment.  He still loves to play in his floor jungle gym, but now he has a jungle gym jumping seat, too!

I love his expression as realizes just HOW FUN this new jungle gym is!

Dexter is discovering his hands!

Yesterday, I caught him examining his fist and recently he has begun taking hold of toys and blankets.  And of course he has holiday-appropriate toys for the occasion.

(Thank you Grandma Renee for the Frankenstein rattle!)

Tummy Time

Dexter has never liked tummy time, so we have to get creative with how we trick him into it.

This is how it usually goes:

Hi Mom!

What's this new position I'm in?

No, not tummy time!

Mug Shots

children, Dexter, family, FM3 photo, life, mug shots, parenting, personal

Like every mother, I am convinced I have the cutest baby in the world.  And so when I took Dexter in to get his FM3 (the residency visa in Mexico) photos taken, I didn’t think anything of it.  In fact, I reveled in the compliments the photographer was giving me about how adorable my baby was.

You can only imagine my surprise when I picked up the photos yesterday.  He looks like a convict!

(Certainly, these will be used as blackmail at some point in his future.)

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!
