Sorry this is quick. Just testing out this video

Getting Big

Seems like each picture we take he's turning more into a little boy and less of that baby. He is saying the beginning of words and really trying to communicate with us. And he just cracks us up at some of the things he does...like dancing in his car seat to 5 little monkeys or pushing in the drawer on the coffee table with his tummy (look no hands).

Tantrums continue along with some hitting and screaming. Sometimes it feels like saying no to those actions our are favorite phrases lately. When he's good...what a joy. When he's not...it can be exasperating. We were watching one of those Nanny shows the other day on tv. It feels like each stage with Dominic, I start to have a better appreciation for some (not all mind you) of those parents. It's definitely a learning process.

See there are other uses for those 3-D glasses we paid for to see Avatar....

Sweet boy.

Reading Books

Being nice to his friend Rayna.

Boys and their Steak....

This is what happens when you leave the boys by themselves for an evening...

Christmas Time

Mike and I both took off work last week. It was great to spend more time with Dominic and to get a break from work. His personality is really coming through more and more. He is trying to talk more, but most is just babbling right now. He also is starting to throw tantrums when he doesn't get what he wants. He mostly just starts crying really hard...it's hard not to just laugh sometimes because it's so silly. He can still be distracted with another toy or acting silly so at least it's not unbearable right now.

Here are pic's from Christmas and more from the week in the below posts.

Can you tell he likes the gift from Uncle Bob???? Check out the video at the end!

Radio Flyer Wagon here we come...well maybe we'll just ride it in the basement for now.

I think he had more fun playing with the little bottle of hand sanitizer than his toys!

Look...someone else's hand lotion.

He LOVES books!

He is looking more like a little boy...especially in big boy clothes!

New Bike

Downtown

We went down before Christmas to visit the tree in Daley Plaza and take our annual picture by it. I think Dominic was in every picture. He's like the movie star of the family!

Playing in the Snow

Here are pictures of us going out in the snow for the first time this year.

Halloween Weekend

Dominic had his first plane ride over Halloween. He did really great on the plane. We took a trip to TX to visit my cousin Tamara & Nick and their little girl, Hanna. The kids had a great time playing with each other and trick or treating.
