I realize I haven't shared a lot of Dexter lately. Here's the little man, wide-eyed as ever and terrifying with his new found mobility. The kid is FAST. And strong. He'll turn any surface he can reach into a drum.
Kitchen trash can? Yeah!
Mom's sternum? Yeah!
Dougal's water bowl? Yeah!
He now has 3.5 teeth and he does this creepy sounding thing where he mashes his top one with the bottom one. It's not unlike hearing nails on a chalkboard. It makes my skin crawl.
His skin is improving slowly. I'm not doing anything that different and am attributing it to his general growing and development. It's still dry and flaky, but he doesn't get the whole bleeding, weeping scabs thing anymore.
Know what's really weird? This year on Mother's Day I will actually be a mother. Whoa.
These are some pictures Raffaella took of baby while she was babysitting a few weeks ago. Of all his books his favourite is this Curious George activity one that is clearly meant for an older child.
Dexter loves wooden blocks.
And here is the teething king.
I've said it before but I'll say it again. Taking care of little D (I suppose he's quickly moving past being a baby) is most rewarding. Even when he's fussy because of his skin or a stuffed up nose. I feel very privileged to have such a great little man in my life. Having him? Best decision I've ever made.

I love the action shot-- diving into the toy bin! He'll be riding a bike himself soon.
Little D is sure a cutie pie!! Next thing you know, he'll be leaping off random tables and fully expecting mom or dad to catch him,lol. Mmm...can't wait for my Mother's Day box of Purdy's.
Man! I need to see the kidlet sometime. I can't believe how much he's grown again!
OMG! He's sure grown. It's been a while since I've been around here, time sure flies! He's so cute! Awwwwwwww.
He is so adorable. I love reading your Dexter updates!
That second photo is a hoot! Good to see he's doing well :)
