11/13-Walking!!!
Well on the 12th aunt Mandy and the cousins came over for a sleep over. Which was very fun, not only for the kids, but moms as well. Needless to say, when they first arrived Dominic was so excited that Christopher was here that he just started walking after him. I think that this caused him to build up his confidence. The children had fun destroying the house (actually, just playing with everything, but making a huge mess) and playing together. Everyone destroyed the house except Imagin, as she was just entertained watching everyone. After dinner, which was eaten especially well by the children, it was bath time. Both Dominic and Christopher got to share bath time. This was interesting to Dominic as it meant that he had free range in the tub and not confined to his ducky. At first, I think this scared him a little. Then he realized that he had a friend there with him and was content to continue playing. Finally, after an exhausting day of play it was time for bed. Then, aunt Mandy and I got to watch a movie and talk. :-)
On the 13th, Dominic really started taking off with his walking. He first walked half way across our bedroom and he did it on his own without me starting him off walking. He continued to walk throughout the day and taking bigger challenges. He would go distances that he had not tackled before and go between objects that he hadn't attempted before. So, after our walk to the post office, and then to the library (where Dominic flirted with all the girls who know him so well and showed off his new walking skills to them) we spent a bit of time outside playing. The temperature and weather here were so nice yesterday it was impossible not to spend the time outside. Finally, Matt called and said he was on his way home. I told him that I had a surprise for him.
When Matt walked in I told Dominic to go and get Daddy. He took off walking across the kitchen to get Matt. It was adorable and memorable. He repeated the episode with grandma Mo who came down to see what the little man was up to.
The last bit that of news that I have is that Dominic has been weaned from his 5am feeding. He now waits till he gets up in the morning. The best part is that this weaning was the easiest to do and it eliminates the morning nap feeding. We are down to three times a day and soon the night one is going to go as well. (He doesn't mind taking a cup of milk at bedtime.)
