Dominic the Donkey

I was packing up some of Dominic's tiny baby clothes and couldn't help trying some things on him.  The newborn mittens just happened to match the pjs he was wearing at the time (both Gerber). And then I came across his Halloween hat...

I didn't expect I'd come up with anything to write about before Betsy gets home at the end of the week, but here's something I just noticed when I was looking through pictures I'd taken of Dominic.

Wait a minute...

Ha!

The apple doesn't fall far from the tree

I'm always looking for hints into Dominic's personality.  There must be some things he does now that we'll look back on later and think "That's SO Dominic." Like maybe the fact that he goes to bed so darn early. (6:30 at the latest).

A few weeks ago, I posted about Marcos' motto "If you're going to do something, do it right." I'm starting to think Dominic operates on this idea too. When he rolled from back to belly for the first time, he rolled from belly to back just a few hours later. Many kids have those two milestones weeks apart.  Now he has not one, but TWO little front teeth coming through his bottom gums!  The poor guy was pretty cranky today.  I wish I had a picture to post, but it's hard enough getting a glimpse down there.

New non tooth-related pics on the post below.

I'm back. I posted pretty frequently in April; I'm not sure what happened when May got here. Marcos and I have crazy travel schedules from now through August. It seems one of us is leaving every other week.  So I guess I've been busy for that reason.

Here are some pics taken May 1. We used them to make Mother's Day cards, so I could not post them until the cards were received. We had a random cold front come in around then.  It was nice because Dominic wore a few jackets I thought he'd never get to wear again.  Doesn't this one look like a Members Only jacket?

He laughs with his mouth wide open. Maybe hoping something good will fall in?
