Bringing Chubby Back

Most of you have seen this pic, right?




Well, it doesn't really do him any justice...



One of his very favorite things these days is to walk. Actually, he loves it so much that if you try and sit him down because your back hurts from walking him around everywhere he will stiffen his body so you can't. Eventually, you just have to lay him on his back or tummy, which is usually followed by screaming! If you then pick him back up to walk around he laughs with excitement. It's pretty funny.

Another favorite thing of his has been a long time love, baths!

Here is 21 lbs. of rolly poley love...


The first photo he is splashing away. I told you, the next Michael Phelps. The second he caught me taking photos..."Oh hi, mom!"

Such A Ham

I guess I haven't known a lot of little boys who like to have their picture taken...

So, when my boy started posing for the camera a few months ago it came as a bit of a surprise! If there is a camera in front of him he won't look away/stop posing until you are done. It's pretty funny. He's such a ham! (I secretly love it.) Although, sometimes it makes it difficult to take a candid shot.

He looks kind of like an old man when I comb his hair over like this...



Some fun news for us, Dominic finally learned how to army crawl! He screams as he does it, maybe because it's such hard work? I don't know. He's just happy to be able to move forward!

Valentines and Sunny Days

I'm only a couple days late on this...

Do you like his Valentine's Day outfit?



Lucky me, I got two handsome Valentines this year!



And some pretty roses...


We also went out to dinner, saw a movie, and did a little gift exchange. We don't hype up the holiday too much. Mostly we just want to spend some quality time together.

Yesterday it was so sunny we HAD to get out for a walk.


I could tell Dominic was so happy to get outside. When he does leave the apartment it is only to go inside somewhere else. The winter has been hard on us!

We Can Dream, Right?

That cute little lady is my friend's little girl. She is adorable. Although the two of them look really far apart in age, in about 4.5 years they will both go into kindergarden! We are already planning the wedding...

Anyway, our Dom Dom is eight months old today! Can you believe it?! I certainly can't.

He still isn't crawling, but he does the funniest thing with his legs. When he wants something in front of him he stretches out his arms and then digs his toes into the ground. His butt sticks straight up in the air when he does this. It's hilarious! I keep trying to catch it on video, but have yet to get a good one. Maybe I will just try and get a snap shot...

It Was Time

As you can see I updated my blog a bit. I thought the change might motivate me into blogging more...we shall see! It took me a while to get it to look how I wanted. (I'm an amateur!) I still have to make a new header, but that will have to wait. It's time to get the babe from his nap. Anyway, do you like it?
