November 8th

Well, the news of the day. Mary, our neighbor below us celebrated her 99th birthday today. I can't even begin to imagine how much change she has seen in her lifetime.

As for news with Dominic there are a few things. First, he has two teeth popping through on the top next to his two front teeth and two bottom teeth next to the center two as well. This will make eight teeth in all!!

He will walk to me or Matt when he really wants to. For example at night when Matt has him and I have his sippy cup of milk that he gets before bed he will forget about crawling and walk right to me. His arms extended and totally focused on getting to the milk!!!

He has been talking up a storm lately and he loves to sing and sway with music. He also pays attention to things and how I move my mouth when I talk. He recognizes things after you repeat them about three times. For example nose, I said nose and pointed to my nose three times and his three times. Then I said "where is mommy's nose?" and he pulled on my nose. :-)

On Saturday the 11th we go see Nana. I'm sure she will be excited to see Dominic as she hasn't seen him since he was six months old. He is quite the character from what he was then!!
