dominic's starting to put word combinations together. It's adorabke and hilarious. "daddy's home", "i'm happy", and instead of "oh man" he's been saying "oh me" anytime he drops something or trips, etc...

Big Bed

We converted Dominic's crib to a bed yesterday. I wasn't sure what to expect. He didn't get out once, intentionally that is. There was one little thud in the middle of the night, followed by some crying. I went in to find him on the floor :( After calming down he went right back down and didn't get up at all. He called for us in the morning like he usually does when he wakes up. We came in to find him sitting there waiting for us to get him.

20 months

Dominic is 20 months old today. Can't believe 2 is right around the corner!
He is such a character. He's been flashing the cheesiest little grin a lot lately and it's hilarious. He's talking more and more everyday. He now answers yes or no to questions, the yes is more just "sssssss". He's still obsessed with any kind of ball or anything with wheels. He has 10 teeth and two more showing through the gums. He's VERY active, still loves to read endlessly and is still stuck in this shy phase that I hope doesn't last for much longer.
Out with the old and in with the new. We may have overshot the size of this just a little. It's nerve-racking watching him play on it. He goes up and down dozens and dozens of times a day. And is just starting to like hanging out in it.

He loves being a big cousin and now has two younger than him. Poor Lucas gets smothered with hugs and kisses whenever Dominic's around. Nikki had Darius James this last week and we can't wait to meet him.

Gone Fishin

Dominic's first fish, kind of....Tim actually caught it and Dominic and I reeled it in. Dominic wasn't quite sure what to think of it all.
