Well, let's see. I must update, yet, what to say? Dexie walks. He has stopped crawling, he just walks, even runs a bit -- especially if he gets a little off balance. He's not so much a baby now, though snuggly and cute; he's really turned into a toddler. He seems to know a few words, like "No," (especially when screamed by Zach), his name, and Mama and Dada. I suspect he knows Zach's name too. He is also fully recovered from the litany of illnesses he had: RSV, pneumonia, and thrush. We're down from 8 medicines given 3x daily to about 4 given 2x daily.

Zach continues to amuse and sometimes frustrate us with his clever, demanding and continual stream of conversation. Jumping on the bed, and jumping from couch to floor seem to be his favorite activities, but only with other participants. Curious George is he favorite show, still, watched mostly for comfort in the morning and evening when he is a little worn down or coping with the transition of caregivers in and out of his house.

Both boys enthusiastically endorse the newly installed carpeting in the bedrooms of our addition, demonstrated by elaborate rolling and falling routines. None of us can wait for the move-in tomorrow!
