We've got a stander!

Dominic is getting more confident in his mobility. He's been able to stand on his own for a few seconds; today he was able to do it for more like 15 seconds. Dom's getting so strong and growing up so fast, before we know it he'll be walking all over the place!

11 months old!

Dom got a balloon for his 11 month birthday. This is only his third balloon ever, but he can't get enough. He dragged this balloon all over the house until the air was pretty low and it just mysteriously disappeared one night after he went to bed. He will have a TON of balloons at his birthday party!

I know I've said this a lot, but I can't believe how fast this year has flown by. Our little baby is turning into such a little boy before our eyes. Everyday he is changing and learning new things, becoming more independent, trying to communicate, crawl, stand, cruise on the furniture and so many more things. We are so lucky to have this amazing little man in our lives. We love him so much!

Dom's first car

We bought this cool little car for Dom which he LOVES!


He's already picking up bad habits from mommy, driving on the phone (I'm getting better!)

Last day at the Little Gym

Today was Dominic's graduation from his class at the Little Gym; he no longer is a Bug, now he will be a Bird. Daddy was able to join us for this class so Dom could show him all the tricks he has learned over the past 5 months. As usual, all of the little kids had so much fun together.

Even though Dom loved the Little Gym we decided to not enroll him in the next semester. We want to expose him to as many different classes and activities as we can. His next classes will probably be music and swimming. I'm sure we'll be back to the Little Gym in the future.

Here are some fun shots from the day.

Some cute photos from this month

6 Teeth!

All Dominic wanted for Christmas was his two front teeth. They didn't come in by the time Santa arrived, but they made it for the new year! On new year's day Dom woke up with his two front teeth and his other front fang. With his new teeth have come a lot of very funny expressions including an under bite and a pouty look.

Happy New Year!!

We brought in the new year with a nice homemade dinner and a couple of friends. On new year's day Dominic cut his other three front teeth. With the addition of three new teeth Dominic has learned to make some really funny faces. This is his pouty face; he's actually in a good mood here.
