Our Little Elf

Just a few days before Christmas and we are so excited!

Little guy exploring the tree...

Ho, Ho, Ho!!!

My friend Jessica came over with this awesome Santa suit. I couldn't resist putting Dom in it and taking some pics!

Little Gym Friends

Dominic absolutely loves going to his Little Gym class. It's amazing to see how much he has developed since his first class. He went from crying during most of the first class doing tummy time and rolling around to crawling, hanging from bars, forward/backward rolls, making friends, and overall LOVING the class. His favorite part of the class is when they bring out the balls and bubbles.

Here are some shots with his buddies from the class.

All of the kids LOVE eating the jump ropes...

I love the Little Gym!!

Dominic loves to swing!

Since it was such a beautiful day, I decided to take Dom to the park. He had so much fun crawling on the grass and in the swing.

9 Months Old!!!

We can't believe that Dominic has been with us for 9 months already! We were talking today about how fast time has flown by. We have been having so much fun with him, each day he shows us more of his awesome personality and makes us smile and laugh. He is such a sweet loving little guy who likes to cuddle and give us kisses. It has been so fun watching him explore the world and go through so many first experiences. He is crawling like a champion, pulling himself up on anything he can, babbling up a storm, and is just starting to clap.

Today we had Dom's 9 month checkup. Unfortunately he now recognizes the doctor's office and immediately started crying when we went into the exam room; he knows this is where the shots take place. He is now 28 inches long (45 percentile), 19 pounds (25 percentile) and has a head circumference of 47.5 centimeters (95 percentile). We have proof that he's a smart little guy with his big brain :). At this visit, we learned we need to up his food intake and can be more adventurous in what we're giving him. So far he has been easy to please with food, hopefully this trend will continue.

After the appointment we went to Whole Foods to get more food for Dominic to try. This was the first time he got to ride in a shopping cart, which he loved. He had so much fun grabbing everything I was putting into the cart.
