Daddy and Dex hanging out on the porch...

Play Gym Happiness

Dexter has been slow to embrace the wonders of the play gym. Finally he's enjoying grabbing the hanging objects and trying to eat them.

Welcome to the jungle.

Happy boy.

Happy boy, continued.

Our little guy is really growing up. He's now sleeping in his crib and we started sleep training a couple weeks ago. He sleeps through the night for the most part. He takes 3 naps a day and they are becoming longer and more consistent. He's always unhappy about going to sleep, but he's getting more comfortable with everything. He's nursing during the day only, except for the dream feed that we do while he's asleep.

He's found his thumb and he is able to soothe himself better. He has started laughing a lot at funny sounds or tickling. He loves looking at his sister and loves riding the car with her. He likes walking around in the Bjorn baby carrier or sitting on the porch with Daddy. He has rolled from his tummy to his back a couple of times, but hasn't really figured out what rolling is all about yet. He loves kicking his legs and wiggling around.

Mom and Dad are getting better at dealing with the needs of two kids and we are beginning to really enjoy the new level of chaos in the house (It probably helps that we are starting to get more sleep). We love our little guy. He's such a wonderful addition to the family.
