This game of catch went on for about a half hour, Dexter was equally excited each time he rolled the ball to me!

I’m not sure I remember the first time I learned to played to catch.  Such a simple game – I’m happy, at least, that I can witness just how fun it is for a little person to discover.

I forgot to pick up the empty dog food bowls … Dexter punished me by turning them into cymbals.

Anyone out there remember how fun smashing your face against a window used to be?  I remember it being the funniest when someone would be on the other side of the glass to witness just how ridiculous my face could transform.

Dexter reminded me of this silly game yesterday.  Unfortunately I couldn’t be on the other side to snap the photos … but you can get a pretty good idea of how goofy he was being from my vantage point.

Hey Mom, you want to know how all that goober got on the window???
…. THIS GUY!

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!

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…

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!

Swing!

Dexter was finally able to try out the swings in the park by our apartment.

There is no doubt – he is in love!

On Monday, Dexter finally took his very first crawling-in-a-straight-line steps!

For months he has been getting around with his awkward move of scooting/rolling/sitting.  (here)  (here)  and (here)   And his new milestone achievement certainly didn’t come without a few bumps and bruises (here).

Check out this video from a very proud mommy and daddy!
