Mealtime Mayhem

I was feeding Dominic lunch yesterday..well, he was feeding himself mostly..and he was just cracking me up with his antics!

Below is a short video of him chatting ,being saucy and silly!

Do you see it?

Does anyone see the resemblance between Dominic and his Mommy?

Reminiscing the journey

We want to share this collage depicting the exciting journey of Dominic's many changes since his arrival into our arms on August 5th, 2006....

Demolition Baby!

I was spending some time with Dominic one afternoon and trying to teach him how to build things with blocks. Being the absolutle boy that he is, he found that it was much more fun to knock them down than to build...enjoy!

Saturday Evening Picnic

Last Saturday Jon and I decided to spend the evening at a huge park that we used to go to often before Dominic was born. Up beyond the lake there is a hollow with a fishing pond and our very own island that we could picnic on. Days gone by we would take Cassius (our pet dog) and set out a blanket and pack our lunch or dinner and enjoy the outdoor air while it's still warm!

This time was so special cause now it was the four of us. While Dominic played with his tiny soccer ball and huge baseball , Jon and I played a game of badminton without the net...Cassius sniffed around at all the deer trails and the muskrat sauntering on the other side of the pond. Which needless to say Jon dropped his racket and just had to go chasing that muskrat...sorry I did not get a picture of it!

This was some well needed outdoor time before the eminent cold weather hits. Hoping to do some more outdoors this month and with Dominic's new found feet there's so much more to explore!

1st Real Steps!

Dominic took his first sequence of steps just after his 1st birthday! Needless to say we were very proud!

Playin' Chac Chacs !

Here is a short video from our trip to Trinidad in July. Dominic loves music and I thought it would be great to purchase a pair of personalised chac chacs from a local craftsman on Maracas beach. At 11 months old he's already a parang pro!
