Dexter continues to surprise us with new things. He has two teeth and is now saying what we think is "Dada" although it sounds more like "Ah dada". We're trying to teach a few basic signs: milk, more, all done, help and please. He's used the "all done" a few times, so we're sure the rest will come soon. The kid loves to eat and throughly enjoys lunging at the spoon when we give him solids.
He had a pretty good cold not too long ago which meant many long sleepless nights for all of us. The cold progressed and after a day of non-stop crying and a temperature it was time to visit the Dr. On the way he took a nap and was a very pleasant with the Doctor... who said "It seems that he's playing and very happy. He just has a cold." That night and the next day was the very worst of this entire episode. We scheduled another Dr. appt, and found the source of the problem... and ear infection. He is now on anti-biotics, is sleeping much better and has regained his ravenous apetite.
Today as I was getting ready for work I set Dexter in front of the mirror. He has always enjoyed seeing the baby in the mirror but today was especially funny. He proceeded to laugh & giggle, and make all kinds of gestures trying to get the baby to respond to him. Of course, the baby did respond to this process continued for a while. When Dakota heard what was going on he decided to join in on the fun, which was even more comical. Dexter absolutely loves his puppy dog so when he saw TWO of them he was tickled pink!
