The new numbers are out, and according to SSA.gov, Dexter was the 715th most popular name of 2008, right behind Elvis (713) and Ace (714). Ace Lokshin. Hmmm, has a nice ring to it...

Six months ago right now, I was being admitted to the hospital to have a baby. This baby right here. And look, now he's sitting!

Oh, and if anyone is looking for something to get him for my 6 month birthday, he told me he wants all the Dwell Studio clothes at Target. :)

A shot from Dexter's studio pics we had done at Target a couple weeks ago.

Dexter was very interested in what his GG had to say this Easter. We had a lovely time at Grandma's for dinner, and the Easter Bunny had lots of goodies to share, including chocolates that can't possibly be eaten by a baby without teeth. So Mama and Papa got to take care of those. :)

Teeth, however, are coming any day now. I can feel the bottom center teeth under the gums, as can Dex, apparently, as he's been running his tongue over them constantly for the last couple days. One of the lower canines has been sticking out of the front of his gums for weeks now. Soon we'll be able to get him those grillz he's been eying!

Dexter is five months old today. This is a very serious matter that will require careful consideration. Or at least, that's what his expression tells me.

Psychobaby: Vote for the April Psycho Baby of the Month!

Vote for Dexter! He's up for April Psycho Baby of the Month at PsychoBaby - a cool store here in Chicago. If he wins, he gets a $50 gift certificate to spend on cool stuff at the store. And maybe I'm biased, I don't know, but he's definitely the cutest (and most psycho) of the bunch.
