Dominic has had a serious vocabulary explosion! He says a ton of words now and mimics just about everything. He's also been working on saying "please."
Last weekend he wanted chocolate at 9:00am. He was pulling me towards the kitchen and saying "Gock" which is his word for chocolate. I said, "No, we're not going to have chocolate right now." He stopped pulling on me, looked at me very seriously and said "Pease. Pease, Pease." Needless to say, Mommy is a sucker for good manners and Dominic got chocolate at 9:00am.
Since then he's been saying "please" quite a bit!

Visiting with Jorja
We went to visit Lauren, Brad and of course baby Jorja. Dominic was so fascinated with her. He did an excellent job being gentle and kept saying "baby" over and over again. At one point he found a pacifier. I told him, "That's the baby's, can you bring it to her?" And off he ran into Jorja's room to give it to her. I was so impressed and I'm very excited that he's going to be a fantastic big brother!
Lauren and Brad looked great and are obviously very proud parents!
Mardi Gras!
Mardi Gras seems to have become a little bit of a tradition with us. Dominic was a little unsure at first but by the end he was clapping. He didn't get as many beads as last year since we were in a busy section but he did get a few more to add to his collection.
Finally winter arrives!
Ok, it took a while but finally winter arrived with a TON of snow. Work even let us out at half a day (how generous) which was good because I barely made it up the hills in Burlington since they were focused on the highways. After getting Dominic from daycare we made it into the driveway on the second attempt. Poor Daddy however was not so lucky and had to work his entire shift, some nonsense about essential personnel, LOL! So by the time he got home it took a lot of shoveling to get the car in. The next day I got a half day off in the morning which I decided to extend for the whole day. It's been a long time since we've had a "snow day."
BTW: I know Dominic is not wearing mittens. This picture was taken as we went to the car. There was too much snow and it was too cold to play!
Lounging with the Kitty
Dominic has found his spot on the couch and every once in a while insists on lounging there (usually pulling up the blanket as well.) An extra bonus is if he has the kitty for company...until he pushes her off the couch.
