My Cowboys


Up and Over

Dexter has really begun to climb on everything although he still hasn't made it out of his crib! Yesterday, I was cutting some pizza on the kitchen counter when I heard Dexter say, "Dex on table." When I turned around, sure enough he was sitting on the kitchen table!

The Calm After the Storm

Dexter had just had a major fit for a reason that Ben and I could not figure out. I got some video of that (and it's funny if you're into that sort of thing) but this is much sweeter - Daddy comforting Dexter.

The Two-Year Old Landscape


We're not living in a mess. We're living in a collage.

Uncle Alien


When the cousins were visiting, Adam was interested in playing the ukelele (and he was pretty good!). We all got a kick out of him calling it the "Uncle Alien".

Mee Mee Eemee

I mentioned to the speech evaluation crowd that Dexter calls My Bologna "Eemee". I also mentioned that Dexter says, "mee mee," for "excuse me". I also mentioned that when Dexter wants My Bologna to move out of his way he says, "Mee mee, Eeemee." The speech therapist told me that that's normal, these are difficult words. She suggested that we tap out the syllables as we say these words and she and I did it with "My Bo-lo-gna" a few times together. Wouldn't you know that as soon as the team left Dexter started saying "My Bologna"!
