The old adventures of new Dexter

Deneal got married last weekend and we went up to Oregon for the wedding. We had a lot of fun renting a beach house with the family for a week.

Dexter got his first taste of sand!






Dexter and his cuz had their blessings on the 3rd. They looked so cute in their twin outfits!
They're already great buddies.
Try to ignore the spit up on his shirt and focus on how cute he is!
He's getting so great at holding up his head. He's smiling and laughing every day and does that evil thing that babies do: barf all over you and everything 20 times, pee on you when you change them and make you so frustrated when they won't sleep and make you start to wonder why on earth you ever had kids, but then give you a huge smile and a little giggle that makes it totally impossible to be mad at them.
I love how pensive he is over his little owl.
B-ball boys!
Dexter finally got to meet his grandpa Howard. I think G-pa H liked him quite a bit!

Yay for baby!

2 whole months

Our little dude is 2 months on the 8th! Today was his check up and his immunizations; such a fun time. The doctor said that he's a perfect baby totally healthy. He is 13.19 lbs in the 82nd percentile and 25.5 in in the 99th percentile.

He smiles so much now and I love it. He even gives tiny little giggles which totally make my days.

For Memorial weekend Steven, Dexter and I headed down to Provo to visit with Micah and his family. Brianna took a bunch of pictures of Dex and his cousins and a few of them can be seen HERE

Dex is on the verge of laughing these days. He is so smiley and happy the majority of the time. He has been fun to watch change and grow. It makes me sad to see him get bigger though and not be my tiny little baby. He'll be 2 months old on Tuesday and I can't believe how fast time is going. I also can't believe how I hardly remember what life was like without him. If anyone is thinking about having a baby, I highly recommend it!

To Uncle Carl

I meant to make a post last Sunday after Mother's Day for Carl out on his mission but we got home late and I forgot. So hopefully you're checking this week because these are for you Elder Yeip!
He looks like a little old man and I love it!







My little meebling
This is one of my favorite pictures I've taken of him. He looks just so sweet
Zonked out with his pants pulled real high, so great!

Oh and Steven graduated! Hooray!

Sorry Steven, but I'm in love with another man

This has become my most favorite face in the whole world. Whenever I close my eyes, this is what I see. I can't even say how much I love this little guy. Dexter is so sweet and so content. He cries when he's hungry, fusses when he's tired or getting his diaper changed and cries during tummy time. All the rest of the time he's so perfect and pretty easy to take care of.


One of his non-crying moments of tummy time.

His first at home bath. He looks like a little ewok!

This was just yesterday when he was completely zonked out on the floor.

4 days left! But probably more.

So my pictures are in no particular order here but oh well. I wanted to add this picture of my niece because every time I look at it I laugh. She looks so crazy and I love it!
This is one of the few pictures I've ever been able to get of Guster looking right at the camera without an owl-like glow in his eyes. He'd been sleeping on one of the baby blankets I left draped over the banister to dry after washing. I'm hoping he's realizing what's going on and adjusting. He loves to look into the crib and carseat and sniff all the clean baby clothes.
This was just a couple weeks ago, I can't remember when exactly, but that's a little smaller than I am right now.
I needed practice on diapers and this teddy bear was my volunteer. I am pro at diapering stuffed animals now. I here the real thing is a bit trickier, but we'll see.
My diaper bag. I got it all packed up tonight with extra everythings and baby's coming home outfit. Hopefully it fits him or he'll be coming home naked!
Since we only have around 4 days until baby boy makes his appearance, we decided it might be time to organize his room a bit. This is just a glimpse of how it started.
This is it in the end looking much nicer. We don't have all the furniture or bedding just yet, but all his clothes are organized and clean, no trash left on the floor, and nice and tidy. We got the bassinet all set up in our room yesterday and I've been surprised not to find Guster snoozing in it yet. We're getting pretty excited to meet this boy of ours! I can't wait for the day of labor to be done with and I can just be a mom.
