I found my wallet the next morning out in the little compartment on the stroller's handle. The "remove from Dexter's grasp" did happen outside the house, and that was a terrible place to stash it, as it doesn't seem like it would fit, so I wouldn't think to look. In fact, I had checked the stroller first, and did gloss right over that little lid.

I should never look at the How-To Baby books. Invariably, he can't do one or two things in the "your baby should ABSOLUTELY be doing these things or call the doctor immediately" column, but yet can also do a bunch of things in the "your baby MAY be able to do this, but probably not" column.

I guess when they say "drink from a cup" they don't mean well, just that he can hold the cup, put it up to his mouth, tip it, get some liquid in his mouth and feel all proud. They don't mention that he'll try and drink from the wrong lip a couple of times first, dump most of the liquid out first and spill the rest of what doesn't go in his mouth down the front of his shirt.
