Dexter turns ONE!

Dexter turned ONE on July 25th!
We didn't have a huge party for him.  (Yet)
We did sing Happy Birthday!
We did have a fun day planned for our little pudge!
And we did let him eat cake!

I am so lucky to be this little boys mom.  He is seriously the best.  He makes me so happy.  From his smiles, to his hugs, to his leg chub, to his snuggles he truly is such a great little boy.  He has had so many challenges this first year of life, but he got through them with a huge smile.

Dexter is still nursing.  He loves it!  And so do I so we have no plans on stopping.
We have been practicing with a cup and giving him a little whole milk daily. 
He loves solid food, and he will pretty much eat anything we give him.  He loves ice cream, and any sweet food, but will happily eat veggies. 
He says HI, BYE-BYE, MAMA, DA, UP and BA (bath)
He crawls like a champ and is actually really fast!
He is furniture surfing on anything he can pull himself up on. 
His hair is getting lighter in the sun, and actually has a tint of red in it. 
He LOVES Max.  He chases him everywhere, and loves his toys. 
He loves anything round.  Soccer balls, basketballs, baseballs, any type!
He has three teeth!  Teething is hard for this little guy.  He doesn't like pain at all. 
He is getting better at sleeping.  He will get better.  We are just needing to be patient.
He loves being outside watching people and smiles.
He waves hi and bye.
He is such a ham.  Loves hearing his name and will shoot you a perfect grin when you smile at him. 

I just love him!!
