Ailing
My two poor boys, completely loveable in all ways lately, are both ailing. Dexter was up all night vomiting with a 103.6 degree fever. And Zach has stitches in his head from a rough fall onto a hard chair. :( They're both going to the doctor together today.

Oh Goodie, I'm so glad you found the shirt! Where was it? AND it still fits!

Update on the boys
Well, let's see. I can't say there are huge milestones, but there are things that make us smile...
Dexter has figured out how to open doors, and he opens them. He's tall enough and has the dexterity. He can also put tops on containers.
Zach likes me to customize his lullabies at night to reflect his day and his imagination. Lately he's Eve and Dexter is Wall-E.
Leaving for work is hard, and the boys don't like me to do it any more than I do. Zachy keeps yelling out the door, as an affectionate parting gesture, "Mama, don't forget to buy more mochi icecreams!"

Happy 12 Months, Dex!
Here's Dexter, enjoying a second round of birthday cake. Zach and I baked this one, and celebrated with Sky, Tillie and Minnie. Happy birthday, sweet Dexty!

Strange
I've been fixing the archives today, and so I've been reading them. It's almost like reading the blog of someone I don't know -- except that I have a vague shadow of a memory of some of the things. Not all, to be sure. But it's really like that was a whole other life, a whole other person.

... Just updated the archives. That is, they work now. Blogging for a long time now, huh?

Turning corners
Both kids are doing new things lately. Around Christmas, Dexter started eating solids. I don't mean the semi-liquid babyfood kind of solids, which he has always rejected -- but actual pieces of bread and broccoli and stuff. This is weird, because he went straight from bottle to pieces of food. No purees! Animal crackers are his favorite.
Zachy has now started requesting baths from Daddy. I'll be giving Dexter and him a bath, and he'll tell me and Dexter to get out. "Why?" I ask, "You want to be alone?" and Z says, "Yes, alone with Daddy." It's understandable . Dad's baths involve an entire tub full of water, not the puny small amount I use, and they last half an hour. I think I'll continue to keep mine stingy, so Zach continues to prefer Dad!

First haircut
Dexi-roni, as we often call him, got his first hair cut this weekend. He was pretty happy with the process, though he got less smiley at the end. He looks like a toddler now, not a baby -- which, if defined by toddling about, he IS.
