Dexter is 6 months old!

Dexter had his 6 month birthday yesterday. I wish he would stop growing and stay small forever. (or at least a bit longer). I can't believe we are already half way to his first birthday. He's about ready to crawl. He gets where he wants to by rolling there. The three huge bowls of cereal he eats a day are paying off in the growth department. We were going to start in on vegetables today, but he's been asleep all day after his shots. I'm sure he will be up, wide awake, ready to play at midnight.

He gained 4 lbs and 2 inches since his last appointment.
Height: 27.5 inches (from 55% to 85%)
Weight: 15 lb 13 oz (from 7% to 23%)

Kellan went back to school this week. We think Zoe is better off for it, her mood has been much improved. She's had a tough year and we hope she is finally turning a corner (seems like I have written this before). There's a rumor going around that Kellan's school is going to a traditional schedule. We've enjoyed the year round schedule that lets us travel at cheaper times. We can't imagine Kellan being home for three months straight. These last 5 weeks were tough for us as well as him. We'll see what happens.

I hope everyone is watching Spartacus: Blood and Sand, if you are not, you're missing a lot of explicit sex and gore. I had to keep my eyes covered for at least 90% of the show. Hopefully it will keep me employed for the next several years, so please watch, or better yet just DVR (if you have Starz/Encore or Netflix) and delete without watching, that works too.

From Jim - "Aside from pitchers and catchers reporting, February sucks." Otherwise said, we will be happy when baseball season starts up.

Videos - some things never change...and we are happy for that.
