Happy Turkey Day!

This was Dominic's first Thanksgiving. Grandma Lela and JB came up to celebrate with us this year. We all went over to Grandpa Ron and Gram Gram Joan's house. It was a full house this year, in addition to all of us, there were Joan's two daughters Lizzie and Sara, Sara's husband Kerouac and their two children Miles and Radley. As always the food was really good and so was the company. Dominic tried turkey for the first time and really seemed to like it. Now that we know he likes meat, he'll be having a lot more of it :)!

He had some special treats waiting for him at his highchair. This highchair has been used by me, my dad and my uncle, so it has a lot of history behind it.

A Visit from GG

Dominic's Great Granny (GG) came down to visit over the Thanksgiving holiday and got to meet him for the first time. Dominic is the youngest of over 15 great grandchildren. He has been really lucky to have gotten to meet four of his great grandparents!

A Tooff!

Dom has been teething for the past few weeks; he's been drooling a lot and gnawing on everything. We noticed this morning that he cut his first tooth on the bottom right side! I'm sure his other bottom one will be here within a few days. It looks like he will get all six of his teeth around the same time; his gums are really swollen and you can see his four "ghost teeth" on the top and the second one on the bottom.

Unfortunately Dominic isn't letting us see his tooth very often so we haven't been able to take a picture of it yet.

Another Fun Visit

This week we had a visit from El Grandre Bo, Noni Star and Aunt Danielle. This was the first time Dominic got to meet his Noni, they had a good time bonding together. It had been many months since Danielle and Bo had seen Dominic and he has changed A LOT. He showed off all his newly acquired skills like crawling, pulling himself up on things, climbing the stairs and many more.
The visit was short but we had fun, hopefully we'll see them again soon.

Dom vs. the cow

It's funny, about a week ago I pulled out this toy cow that vibrates and moves across the floor and Dominic was terrified of it. He would hide in our arms and start to cry, poor little guy. Now has become more brave and LOVES his cow. He's played with it so much that we've already had to replace the batteries!

8 Months Old Today!

Today Dom and I went to Half Moon Bay to visit Grammy. It was an absolutely beautiful day in the 80's; such a treat in November! Dom had a great time getting into EVERYTHING in Grammy's house; it's amazing how busy he is now. He is such a little explorer.

Here he is sitting in our childhood rocking chair that was originally Kier's and then mine...it's just his size.
