Over these past few weeks Dominic
has been getting bigger and bigger every day.
Mark and I were fortunate enough to have my father, mother and sister
(Auntie Kim) Fly up for separate visits.
It was great to spend this time with my family and share Dominic’s early
days, filled with belly time, grunts and learning his surroundings.
We were able to also have our first
bath time at home with Auntie Kim! She
was a fabulous photographer and really helped up capture this moment and many
others.
My father has decided that Dominic
will call him “Poppy”, which I LOVE . My
mother has gone with the more traditional “Grandma”. On Mark’s side we have Nana and Bampa (thanks
Kaleigh)
Everyone who has met Dominic has an
option on which he looks like. It’s
scary how much he looks like Mark as a baby but it’s fun to have people point
out what features he’s got from him mom, most noticeably his hair which gets
more blonde every week.
We also had grandma visit for a
week. Unfortunately it was pretty cold
out but we were able to sneak in a walk in the neighborhood but most of our
time was spent inside playing.
This week, being the first week with
just Dominic and I we have been very selfish and spending our mornings playing
in bed and slowly being introduced to the real world with an errand here and
there to our favorite stores (Babies R Us, Buy Buy Baby and JoAnns). Dominic has been more awake these past few
days which I have LOVED because he is learning who is who and associating voices
with our faces.
