Exploring Faces

For the past week or so, Dexter has been grabbing my glasses but it has seemed kind of accidental. He has also been a longtime fan of trying to eat my face - mostly my chin and cheeks. Today, however, he began earnestly exploring my face with his hands touching my mouth, nose, ears, and glasses. He was concentrating so hard I could almost see the little connections being made in his brain.

Rock 'em Sock 'em Cowboy

Check out Dexy's cowboy boot socks.

Hatty Mother's Day!

Ben and I spent most of the day sorting out Dexter's clothes. In the process, he tried on a lot of hats (and My Bologna did too).

Mastered the Skill

Dexter has, however, mastered the "toes in mouth" skill.

Hasn't Quite Mastered the Skill

We are looking forward to the day when Dexter can stick his pacifier in his mouth by himself. Right now, it's all about exploring the whole thing with his mouth.

Qualitative Methods in Evaluation Webinar

Here is how Dexter and I spent the last 10 minutes of the webinar on qualitative methods today (you can hear Dr. Summers expounding on her appreciation for the method in the background). In the spirit of the webinar, let's consider the video to be qualitative data submitted for interpretation of Dexter's relationship with the crab.
