Photoshoot for Father's Day

I took Dom in to get his portrait taken to surprise Gabe for Father's Day. We got a lot of cute shots, I was too excited to show Gabe I couldn't wait for Sunday. Here are some of our favorites...

Swimming with Daddy

The weather is finally warm enough for us to enjoy our pool! Gabe took Dominic swimming today, this was only the second time he had been in the pool (the first being his lesson which he hated). This time around was completely different, he LOVED it! Gabe eased him into everything including dipping under water. Dom had so much fun he was even trying to blow bubbles! Since Dom had so much fun today, we'll be spending many days at the pool this summer :)

Floating on Daddy

He loves being tossed in the air!

Dom is never too busy to point out an airplane!

Words...

Yesterday while I was driving, Dominic was playing with one of his cell phones; this phone talks and sings to him while lights flash. The phone said, "call Grandpa" in which he said "ampa" and repeated a couple more times. This totally took me by surprise because we haven't been working on that word with him. Later that day I was telling Gabe the story and Dom said it again. Then today when I was on the phone with Grandpa, Dom saw his picture on my phone and repeated 'ampa' again. I guess he knows who his ampa is :)

Other words he has said are:
dada
mama
apple
cracker
highchair
hi
bye
kick
