Ok, we’ve been on hiatus long enough. Life has been on the busy side lately and blogging has gotten away from us. Sadly, we missed Dominic’s 3 month mark. Only 3 months old and his parents are already dropping the ball. Poor kid.
Dominic is still doing very well in the area of bodily growth. I’m estimating his weight is now up to 250 - 275. Ok, so not that much but I’m sure he’s pushing 20! We don’t go for another 3 weeks to see his Dr. for a check up so we don’t know the official “weigh in” at the moment. Care to place any bets? I’m guessing “HUGE.” :) He fits nicely in 3-6 month clothing but a lot of his pants are getting too short because my boy is already itching to be a basketball player! I have already pulled out his 6 month pants because he’s so long! What happened to my LITTLE baby???
Along with growing physically, Dominic is learning all sorts of new tricks! In the last month he has learned how to laugh, which in turn, makes mommy and daddy crack up as well! He has learned that his hands are the best snack a boy could ask for AND he has learned that he doesn’t need a pacifier - his bottom lip is just as good! Seriously, not only does he like to eat his hands but he also eats his face! Crazy baby!
Laughing at Mommy! |
Bottom lip? What bottom lip? Oh, that one. Oh, well I ate it. |
mmmmmm, hands! |
He has really started to “wake up” to the world by grabbing at toys, smiling at people, and staring for countless minutes on end at a little nothing of a spot…. this is when he turns into “Cave baby.” When he finds something to study he starts to make little grunts over and over and just stares. Its hysterical! We expect to find primative cave paintings on the side of his crib any day now. We’ll keep you posted.
Angelo and I are also enjoying the coming of the holidays now that we have our little boy. Halloween is still a few days away and we have already been having loads of fun. Last week we attended a Harvest Party thrown by Chris and Leanne. We had lots of fun - depite mommy not feeling good. Dominic had a good time watching all of the kids run around and I had fun having adult conversation with some great friends.

On Saturday, we went to Erin’s (Don’s sister) Halloween party and had a really good time catching up with Erin who is having a baby in February - a little boy! YES! Finally another boy for Dom to play with! Poor guy is surrounded by the ladies… I’m sure he wont mind in 16 years or so. :) At the party Dominic got to show off his Halloween costume! He was a big hit posing as his favorite wookie, Chewbacca!
Cutest. Wookie. EVAH! |
All in all our little boy getting more fun everyday! Pretty soon he’ll start on solids - sitting up - walking - going to college… man oh man. Dominic, PLEASE slow down! Mommy can’t take you growing up so fast!
Oh, remember Maggie? Yeah, our beloved cat seems to think we’ve forgotten her. We find her in this position all the time. Kitty prosac, anyone?
nobody likes me anymore, they all only like the kitten. Stupid kitten. |
