Sitting with Samantha

Dominic has been such a good big brother! He always wants to be close to her and is always saying hi to her. He's very concerned when she cries and is really trying to share with her, often forcibly! He just doesn't understand why she can't have an apple or a cookie or his pacifier!

A little big...

Here's Dominic climbing into the baby tub. One of Dominic's favorite activities now is helping me give Samantha a bath. In fact he's even brought the tub out and tugged on her clothes saying "off" "bath." He strung his first 4 word sentence out all about it. He said "Dada, Mama baby bath." Ok, so he's missing the verbs but it's coming!

Lots of babies!

4th of July

On the 7th Gee and Papa had the annual 4th of July Party. Unfortunately it rained all day but Dominic had such a blast with Cameron that he didn't care about the whether. This was the first year that there were a large contingency of babies! I really felt like Dominic was getting to be a big boy when he barely checked in with me the entire day. He had so much fun running around. They did a great job sharing and Daddy riled them both up at the end of the day!

Echo Center

We took a trip down to the Echo Center to see the dinosaur exhibit. Dominic loved the dinosaurs but especially loved the Echo Center mascot, Newt. He would have followed him around all day if we let him!

Parade!

The one good thing about living on a main road is that the 4th of July parade goes right by our house.

Choo Choo!

When Daddy went back to work Gee came by everyday for a few days to help out. (Thanks mom!) One day we went downtown and Dominic got to ride the Choo Choo! He was very excited and didn't want to get off when the ride was done. I think this might have been the same day she told him there was a monster in the basement... (In her defense he has been really big into Monsters Inc lately)

Visit from Nan and Pop

Nan & Pop came up to visit us for a few days and Dominic had a wonderful time with Nan. He even slept in his own bed until 4:30am after Nan put him to bed!
