The Wonder that is Dexter.

I still cant believe that we have a one year old! Dexter is so much fun!

We had his one year check up and the doc says he is doing great. (despite his refusal to eat). He weighs 25 pounds and is 33 inches tall. The doc came in and goes, Wow he is tall.

So what he is up to lately...

Dex smiles all the time!

Loves to walk.

He is not interested in eating. Really does not like to eat in his chair, he prefers to wonder.

Loves sugar! Especially chocolate. (His mothers child)

Still only working with 6 teeth, but he definitely has his moments where I think for sure he is teething, but nothing has popped up.

He can sign more and light, which is a popular one lately because of Christmas.

He loves dogs. If he sees one, hears the word or sees a picture he stats barking. Its pretty cute but i cant help but think, If you know that, then the word "No" which is said alot around here, should be totally understood, but it is not. He just thinks, Oh i better move faster, or, I better get this in my mouth quicker. Cool.

Dex loves other people and other kids and does not understand personal bubbles. He likes to get nice and close to you.

He is totally a sleeper, he still takes 2 naps a day. (Knock on wood) It is so funny when he gets tired, the kid can not walk straight. He is the most wobbly walker ever!

He knows where his tummy is and when he wants what you are eating he walks up to you and says. ahhh

He is getting very good at keeping things away from us when we try to take them from him.

He loves listening to the music on our phones. He holds it up to his ear and walks around. Very cute. Jimmy Eat World is his current favorite.

He cracks up when matt and I are play fighting and wrestling, he totally jumps in the middle.

Dex is getting so big so fast and he picks up on everything so quickly, it is crazy. It is impossible to think that in just a few weeks we will have another little guy, who we will love just as much!

So the other night before bed, we were all rocking out to a little Jimmy Eat World and dex fell when he was dancing and we looked over to see some cool new dance moves... he cracks us up.

Dexter took a fall (Dec 3, Friday) into the bouncer, of all things, and totally cut his eyebrow. We took him straight to the doc for stitches. Thank goodness it was small enough to glue because it took Matt, a nurse and the doc to hold Dex down to glue it shut.

This was on the way to the doc.

This was on that next sunday.

He got a little black eye. He looked so tough.

Walking everywhere. I just wish that he understood, Come with me. We are still working on that.

He was not a big fan of santa! It was after his bed time and he was a little grumpy, so we are going to chalk it up to that and give it one more try later this week.

He was cracking us up on sunday because he stayed up all of church. (Not by my choice) By the time we got in the car he was so tired he was falling asleep with out his usual sleep aids, we couldnt believe it! So we were trying to keep him up for the 5 min drive home and this was the face we got. Eyes half closed and almost out but he was trying to laugh. Toooo Cute!

Love those cheeks!

34-35 weeks! Cant wait for this kid to get here! Everywhere I go people say "Oh its a boy, isnt it" I have stopped asking how they know because their responses are always, "You are so round" Thanks. We go see the high risk doc and get another ultra sound at the end of this week, we are excited for another ultra sound. Plus they are stress testing and i am secretly hoping that they are like " Oh yep, this baby is ready lets go ahead and do the C section tomorrow" Yeah right. But i should not hope that because we have so much to do. This kid doesnt even have a place to sleep yet... so i guess we should get on that. Our TO DO list is getting longer and longer and all we want to do is hang out and have a nap :) Classic Matt and Sheri
