6 Months Old

My baby is 6 months today! I can't believe how fast the time has gone. These last 6 months have been the best months of my life and I have loved almost every minute of it. Sure there's been a few times here and there where I have wondered why on earth I ever wanted to be a mother, but those are just fleeting thoughts of course. It is so much fun to watch Dex as he learns new things every day. He can drag himself around the house, sit up, blow raspberries, babble, roll over super fast, put things, especially paper, in his mouth, and plays lots with his toys. He's been teething for the last little while but hasn't cut any teeth yet.


He's such a happy boy and I love the time we get together. I made this hat for him and I think he's quite the cutie in it.



He looks so big!


He's getting so fast and good at that!

Our little dude

Dex is growing so fast it's crazy. He is doing new things all the time and I love it. It made me sad today though when I boxed up a bunch of clothes that he's outgrown. I do miss my tiny little newborn but it is so fun to see the things he does. He rolls over from back to front as well as front to back. He loves paper and gets so mad at me when I take it away from him. He's sleeping in his own bed now which is great for Steven and myself. He's slept through the night 2 times now so at least I know he can! He adjusted quite well to the new house and his own room and we just enjoy spending every day together!

He's the stylish little man!

He sits at the dinner table with us now and likes being included. He used to cry when we'd leave him on the floor while we ate so now we just have him sit with us and makes us smile all through dinner.

He's ready to ride already!

He's already our little computer nerd!

He's really into his feet these days!

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!
