Happy 4th of July!


Quick Draw McDewey

Dexter exhibited two new sleep-related skills in the last couple of days. First, he now grabs his pacifier (we keep a couple in the same spot in his crib) and puts it in his mouth as soon as he is put down. He beats Ben and me to the punch every time! Second, he sleeps on his tummy. We found him asleep on his tummy at the end of yesterday's nap - he must have flipped over and decided to stay that way. He never made a peep and when we got him up he had "sleep marks" all over one side of his face. Last night, when I went in to check on him before I went to bed, he was sleeping on his tummy again! We decided to open his window to get some fresh air in his room and he woke up and tried to flip over onto his back again but was wedged up against the side of the crib. We helped him flip back onto his back and, you guessed it, he grabbed that paci and stuck it in his mouth and was off to sleep again immediately.
