Easter

Gee & Papa spent the night before Easter so they were there 1st thing in the morning to see Dominic and Samantha get their Easter baskets. The Easter bunny hid a few eggs for Dominic and he found a few but was much more interested in his basket. We managed to go to church, have a great dinner (Good job daddy) and had the whole family over to celebrate Papa's birthday. Dominic had a fun time "playing" the wii with Uncle Chris and Uncle Jerod.

Sleeping


I've been wanting to get a picture of the two of them sleeping. Dominic still comes into our bed at night (although typically on his own which is great!) and Samantha spends quite a bit of time there herself. It's a good thing we have a king size bed. (Thanks Gee & Papa)

Spiderman!!

Dominic is starting to get more mature tastes. He's into Scooby Doo and Spiderman. (Of course I think he thinks that Spiderman, Batman and Superman are all the same thing.) Here he is flying in his Spiderman pj's.

Trying to photograph a toddler

It's getting harder and harder to get pictures of Dominic and this video shows exactly why that is.

Dominic Update

Dominic is such a little boy now. He has a great imagination and we are often running from alligators in our house or hiding in caves. He loves acting along with whatever show he happens to watch and one cartoon can turn the day into pretending to be pirates.

He is still wonderful with Samantha although he tries to help her up with a tug to the arm so we really have to watch. He can't wait till she can run around with him.

After lots of fear of going potty outside of his diaper all of a sudden it's no big deal. Last week he wanted to actually sit on the potty and he peed. I didn't say anything because I wasn't sure how he would be about it. (He spent the last month covering both ends whenever we would put him in the tub.) He was fine and was pretty pleased with himself. To my surprise on Friday he pooped on the potty and told me "I don't cry anymore" and bragged about it to daddy. We're definitely heading in the right direction!

Random Cute pictures



Mardi Gras




Mardi Gras this year had much better weather than in years past so it was pretty nice to watch. Dominic did great and loved Scooby Doo and catching beads.

Go Diego Go!



On February 13th I picked up Dominic from daycare early and we headed down to the memorial auditorium to see "Go Diego Go Live." It was a great show and Dominic loved it! He participated, jumped around and helped Diego find the Bo-Bos.

Trip to Florida




We took a trip to Florida for Daddy's birthday. Unfortunately we thought our flight was actually two hours later than it was! In the mad dash to the airport (we made it on time) we forgot our camera at home. We were able to get a few pictures with Nan and Pop's camera though. Dominic had a great time and after a little apprehension, loved playing in the ocean.
