Happy New Year!

So, the 365 blog was a super duper fail for me. It's been a busy year with lots of traveling and other stuff going on. Some moms that I know have turned their blogs into a 52 blog, I think that I'm going to copy them and try to undertake this much more achievable goal :-)

With that, I give you my first picture in a very long time! This is technically from 2011 (New Year's Eve to be exact). Uncle Jake came to our house early to hang out while Aunt Julie had lunch with friends. Jake and Jason had to run some errands  and while they were out they snagged us some lunch. Dex wanted to go to the park so they met us there with the food and when Uncle Jake sat down, Dex thought he should sit next to him. It was too cute not to take a picture of, Dex is getting so big!

Day 135

All of a sudden Dexter became a little mover. He's a fan of cruising over to the window and looking outside. He's such a goof!

Day 133

Still loving his bouncer!

Day 131

I got really bad about taking pictures. I think I have some on my phone, but I'll have to check later. Oops!

Dex still loves his bouncer! Can't you tell.

This night we opened up a new package of his baby spoons. They are soft and not hard plastic like we'd been using. This means that Dexter can bite them and then it's harder to get them out of his mouth. He thinks that this is hilarious!

Day 121

Dex got an adorable t-shirt from the library of congress from Grandma. This is him modeling for us in the hotel :-)

Day 120

A couple days into our Washington DC vacation! We went to the FBI building and then to the White House (lots of walking and metro rides)! Grandma Kim took a turn with Dexter in the baby bjorn and Dex thought it was pretty cool while Grandma was taking a picture of the FBI building and he tried to help her out.

On the way to the White House Dexter fell asleep and he missed it. Luckily we got a picture of him in front still :) (we had to stay pretty far away because there was an event at the White House that night).

Day 114

Easter Sunday!!!

We had a great Easter. My grandma always has a huge buffet breakfast at her house so we went to my parents house the night before and spent all day Easter Sunday with family.

Dexter made out like a bandit with toys from me and Grandma Kim (we were both anticipating the plane ride in 3 days so he got a lot of toys for that). He also got some books and puffs!

Then we went to Church in Barstow with Grandma Mack and had a lot of fun. Dexter sat patiently in the pew for church to start.

St. Paul's even included Dexter in the egg hunt and gave him a basket! (don't worry the grass in the basket got taken away promptly after this picture was taken)

Then we headed to Grandma Faye's house for brunch and an Easter egg hunt! Dexter got HUGE Easter eggs filled with adorable presents from Grandma Faye, Aunt Kim and Aunt Carrie. Here is Dexter, totally enamored with his egg instead of taking a cute picture with his cousin Maddie.

And finally, here is Dexter getting ready for the egg hunt with Dad!
