Now Dexter TALKS! And he can stomp his feet! His hair is short again! And he is an amazing big brother to one incredibly sweet baby!
Here he is, doing one of his favorite things - playing in the faucet in Mom & Dad's bathtub. This never gets old. He's been doing this for months - since before he could reach the water stream. Now he likes to put his hand under there, or hold toys under the running faucet. (Thankfully, he mostly uses the cold water.) Sometimes he likes to suck the water off of his hands or the toy. I promise we give him plenty to drink!
His favorite thing in the world, though, has to be playing Chase. It really doesn't matter if he's chasing you or you're chasing him. He can do this for AGES. Peek-a-boo is a *very* close second. His favorite place to hide is behind the curtains. And he's getting much more sophisticated in his play in that he will stay still behind the curtains until he's ready to reveal himself.
Let's see. He can also open doors now, both outward and inward. Still LOVES his fire truck and race car ride-on toys from his birthday, as both play songs he can dance to. (So does his once-feared, now-loved Safari Car.) Dexter LOVES to dance and will do so when presented with anything even remotely resembling music, including the sound of the shower or vacuum cleaner.
Speaking of the vacuum cleaner, Dexter likes to clean. He goes into the pantry and gets the broom almost daily, and just try to keep him away from the steam mop when you're trying to clean up after his dinner. It's pretty darned cute.
Outside is still a pretty big draw, but it's getting a little cold to go out on a regular basis. We're still looking for a good winter coat for Dexter. After we get that, I'm sure he and his Dad will be outside plenty this winter.
