Visit to the Zoo

We visited Cosley Zoo, a great little zoo in Wheaton.  It was a perfect size for Dominic.  He was excited to walk (with some help) all around the zoo and be outside. We all had great time.

More Cake...on His real birthday...

After his birthday party the weekend before he didn't have any problems remembering what cake was.  He saw the cake and just put his hands in right away like "oh, this is what you do, right?!"

First Birthday

Here are pic's from Dominic's first birthday party.  He was tentative at first with the cake...But once Mike showed him how to do it...he dug right in!

Uncle Bob thought he just needed a beer to loosen up a bit.....

My cousin Hanna came all the way from TX to give me a push on my new swingset!

First Steps

Without Further ado. . . . Dominic's first steps! 

(He took them the day before his birthday!)

Dominic's First Kiss

We've seen Dominic grow up so fast. He's turned over, sat up, then crawled and even stood up on his own. In this latest post Dominic learns what growing up is all about. Also, please welcome the blog's newest cast member Alexandra.

Ribs Please

Last weekend we went to a Ribfest with our friends who live in Cary. Dominic had his first rib...we think he liked it! You can decide for yourself.
