Shoes On Please!

Dexter is in love with shoes. He loves to play with shoes, try to put shoes on, and he has to wear shoes all the time. If he finds a pair of his shoes, he will bring them to either Ashton or I and want us to put them on him. This was him this morning...

Shoes, jammies, and a sippy cup of milk. Life couldn't be better for this little boy.

Dexter and Spaghetti

Dexter enjoyed his dinner tonight, don't ya think?

And I wondered why I hadn't made spaghetti in such a long time.

P.S. He has one of his first-year molars coming in on the bottom left. He has been quite the joy to be around the last couple of days.

Zoo Times

We went to the zoo again today. I know it seems like we go there a lot, and that is because we do. We took Dexter to the Scott Aquarium, he loves it there. Today, he decided he was going to walk everywhere, which he did, he went through almost the entire aquarium all by himself. He made his legs really tired and probably sore. He was trying to stand up a few minutes ago and he would just collapse and whine like his legs were hurting him. Here is a little snippet from the zoo.

We decided to head over to Bear Canyon today and we got lucky. There was a zoo keeper there giving the Sun Bears some treats. One of them came to the top and kept catching the fruits that she would toss. Later, she moved to the Polar Bear and tossed some peaches and carrots into the pool, he wouldn't go after them, he was waiting for the melon. Finally, she tossed a cantaloupe into the pool and he gathered himself up and made a big dive into the pool to get it. It was really fun to watch, unfortunately, I wasn't ready with the video for that one, here are the sun bears though.

He Did It!

Dexter finally started walking. Alison and I have both been very sick this week. On Tuesday and Wednesday Dexter had to pretty much fend for himself as we were both incapacitated on the furniture. The poor kid. He must have decided that he had better learn to walk if he were going to survive. So he started walking back and forth between Ali on the couch and me in the chair. It was really cute. This video is from a few days later. I hope it works. If it doesn't Ali will put it in a smilebox version later.
