Singin' to the Baby (while brushing her teeth!)

Sloane has clearly learned to multi-task.

Dexter's New Stats

As you can see, little Dex is lifting his head up now. He's also "talking" and smiling more, generally doing really well and growing nicely. He went for his 2 month check up and here are his new stats:
height: 23 inches (50%); weight: 11 lbs., 14 oz. (50%); head circumference: 16 inches (75%)
He was a bit cranky today after getting his new vaccine shots. His mommy was a bit cranky too (I'm sick.) Hopefully everyone will be in better spirits tomorrow!

Rockin' the Baby

Mr. Smiles

Okay, so he's not smiling in all of these, but you get the idea. There are no shortage of Dex smiles when he's getting his diaper changed. His enthusiasm has even infected his sister, who actually requests them now (as opposed to screaming "No!" and running away when we dare mention the possibility). Ha, we'll see how long THIS lasts!

Thanks, Diz.

Dizzy is trying. C'mon, Dex. Keep it together, little man. Maybe we'll get a cuter shot of my two boyz next time . . .

Dex Speaks! (well, not really)

He was happy before the video, I swear.

Kristie's 1st Birthday!!!

The whole fam spent a lovely Saturday afternoon in Hermosa Beach for Kristie's first birthday. In the first picture are Shane's sorority sisters from USC (Pi Love! ha ha ha): Ilysha (former roomie, jr. yr.), Kathy and Tina (former roomie, soph. and sr. yrs. AND mommy of the birthday girl) -- also pictured is the birthday girl herself! Most of the rest of the pictures are Sloane having the TIME OF HER LIFE at what she clearly considers the best place on earth: Hermosa Beach Valley Park. Dexter also made a brief appearance on the playground, doing some pull ups with his pop.

Video Highlights!!

Dexter in the Jumperoo

It's official! He can hold his head up in the jumperoo! He seemed to dig it for a few minutes, but then wanted his mamma to hold him again. That's pretty good for his first time. Baby steps. (literally!)

Uncle Ross and My Kids

Ross came to LA for 4 days to meet his new nephew, hang with his neice and say hey to the rest of the fam (and to celebrate my birthday). He was a big help with the little man and lady, especially in the mornings and during/after the evening pick up from day care. While it took her a little while to warm up, I know Ms. Sloane will miss "Uncle Ross" and his readings of The Very Hungry Caterpiller. Dexter and Sloane also LOVED dancing with Uncle Ross in the morning. It was great having him here!!!

the cradle will rock

At the end of a tough day, the girl has to pick up her Stratocaster, put on her jammies and kick out the jams. Don't trust anyone over 3.

Monkey PJs

I couldn't resist a few morning shots of my two favorite monkeys!

Bring Dexter to Work Day

I brought little Dexter downtown with me on Friday and took him to lunch with his Uncle Scott. Shockingly, I didn't take any pix of Scott with the little man. (next time!!) But, I did get pix of Dex making the rounds with the ladies at work. Oh, Dex!

Caitlin's 2d Birthday!
