slumber party with Dexter...and London update

Kary and I had a little taste of what it would be like to have 2 kids this past weekend. We watched my best friend Lynn's little boy Dexter. I have known Dexter since birth but after having London I have not had the time to see him like I used to. It was great getting to spend time with him and see how much he's grown. He is a smart little boy and it's a good idea that I see what I am in for in about 10 mos or so.
London and Dexter are almost the same size even though Dexter is 10 months older..haha. It is so funny to watch the boys interact. London wanted so badly to keep up with Dexter but is not quite sturdy and mobile enough. Kary gave the boys some tool toys and Dexter did not want to share. London kept trying to grab them and Dexter kept telling him no. After a few tries on London's part to intercept some tools, Dexter clocked him in the head with a toy. I panicked at first but London is resilient and if we are going to have a second child, we better be ready to intervene in sibling rivalry. Plus, Dexter didn't mean to hurt his buddy and felt bad afterward when he heard London cry.
The boys were so cute and watched tv, drank their milk and went to bed in the same room. Dexter laid right down which was adorable and London only fussed a few minutes (I think he was trying to be a big boy to show off for his buddy) I look forward to the boys becoming great friends and spending lots of time together this summer.





In other news, London is doing fantastic! Despite some teething issues, he is a well-adjusted, happy baby. He is lunging forward preparing to crawl, doing great with his helmet, eating all kinds of fruit and veggies, becoming way more involved in playing with toys, loves to yell to strangers and is becoming very attached to mommy and daddy. The way he smiles and flaps his arms when he sees us is the best feeling in the world. We just can't get enough of him and are both really looking forward to spending lots of family time together this summer. He is the absolute best thing that has ever happened to us.
