Flag Football

Daddy played flag football with some friends from work (who actually went to law school with mommy, but were one class ahead). He even scored a touchdown! (before we got there, unfortunately.) Sloane was his biggest fan!

A Bath for Dex

Dexter Defies Physics

Happy Thanksgiving!

Sloane, Dex and their rents had a great time on Thanksgiving. We all celebrated with the McKenzies. As usual, we ate too much. It was delicious -- thanks mom! S & D's mommy and daddy also got to see a movie in the afternoon: An Education. We really liked it. What a fun day!

Dexter's Four Month Check up

Dex is happy and healthy! He now weighs 15 lbs., 1 oz. (51st percentile), is 25 3/4 inches long (74th) and his head circumference is 17 1/4 inches (74th). Doing good, 'lil man, doing good!

Dexter's First Day at Daycare!

The first pic is of my little man before he left the house for his first day at daycare! (He's a handsome little fellow, if I do say so myself!) Last week was his "transition" week where I spent an hour per day with him in the infant room before picking up Sloane in the toddler home base. On Friday, I took some pictures of him and his new digs and future friends. His primary caregiver at daycare is Shamier, pictured in photo #2. The last pic is Stephanie and Zach (Miles' mom and bro), who is about one month older than Dex. There will be FIVE little boys all about Dexter's age in the Paramount Daycare!! (including Simon, Samantha's little bro and two others that I haven't met yet) I hope my little guy is happy right now! (sniff, sniff) I miss you, Dex!

Travel Town

Sloane and her mommy went to Travel Town (at Griffith Park) on Sunday with the Woon-Lifraks (Ronan, Bodhi, Iris, Mike and Mike's mom, Ann Marie). We had a great time checking out the trains -- Sloane particularly LOVED climbing everything in sight. She is such a dare-devil! Her other favorite part was running through the empty passenger car screaming with delight. In fact, she loved it so much, she ran right through a family trying to take a picture. As I apologized while running after her, who should I see trying to take the picture of his family? Yep, Dennis Quaid. Ha! Oh, Sloane!
Also, the last picture cracks me up too. A little boy (20 months) was SO insistent on kissing Sloane (REPEATEDLY!), and Sloane ultimately so resistant, that he decided tackling her for more hugs was the only option. (Don't worry, his mommy and I rescued her seconds after I captured it on film.) After that, Sloane and I (along with Ronan and family), went for a ride in the little train that circles the park. What fun! We'll definitely be going again soon!

The Princess and the Pea

I had fun hangin' with my little darlings this weekend. Dex loves anything that helps him to stand up, look around and check out the action. Sloane loves wearing her (much too big) princess costume (that I got on sale after Halloween last year -- it's supposedly size 4-6). I love that she insisted on wearing her dinosaur boots with the dress. Ha!
