Dexter!

 This is Dexter's 7 month post. Only a few days (9) late. It seems like summer has caught up with us. We are always busy! So, I think he was only crawling for about a week when he started climbing things. This is him climbing the soda.

 And these are his beautiful blue eyes! If you look close you can see his bruises. This kid has fallen on his head so many times in the last week or so. He looks like we beat him. I swear he is too small to be climbing the furniture!

 These are the faces he makes all the time now. His bottom 2 teeth are all the way in. His top 2 have been breaking through for about 2 weeks. He has been sucking his tongue, slobbering, eating his hands, biting his gums, slobbering, puckering up. you get the idea. I've had him on tylenol for the last 3 days. He was so miserable. Look at his knee here, they are always black. He's everywhere I tell ya!

When his teeth don't hurt he is still such a happy baby. Still has ZERO interest in eating baby food. He will sit at his high chair and eat finger food though (cheerios, yogurt melts, gerber  cookies and crunchies) He has had tomato, olive, watermelon, pasta and bread. He's just not interested in food!

He goes to bed at 7:30 with Violet. He still wakes for a feeding @ 10pm and then usually goes back to sleep in his crib till @2 am when he eats again. Then he just sleeps with me the rest of the night. It's great because everyone sleeps. It may not be great when he is bigger. Oh well :)

 This kid makes me so happy. I don't ever want to forget when he puts his head on my shoulder and makes little cooing sounds. Or when he gets SO excited when I come in the room. Or how he smells so good, just like a baby! Or his laugh when you just tickle him a little bit. Or how he loves his family. He loves to see any of us. We love you Dexter Smith!!
