On January 3 rd Doming turned ONE… we just had a pretty bad snow storm that night so mommy and daddy were able to be home together. We worked from home but were with him all day. That was the day he just stood up and started to walk with the help of his push-cart and just talked and talked as he was moving and grooving. Yes, I almost cried because it was just a perfect moment. That day was literally filled with playing all day, eating and napping… a PERFECT day if I could say so myself.
The next day on January 4th we celebrated Dominic turning One with family and friends who were not snow-bound. We made sure our drive way was shoveled and made as many snow free spots as possible. We had a gathering of friends that have watched Dominic grow these past 12 months which included Dominic’s Great Grandparent, Nana and Cracker Rogers. We missed my family but they were there in sprit. I will be sending many videos and pictures.

Dominic woke from his nap around 12 and then the party
started. Dominic’s only girlfriend
Cayleigh (Wille and Jessica Hanlon’s little girl came), who is 6 months old,
came to party and they LOVED playing with toys and each other. Dominic was
showing her how to play with the toys and crawl but she stuck to just the
playing and standing. She was such a
sweet little thing giving Dominic open mouth kisses and pulling his shirt…
quite funny.
Several of our friends came out to celebrate with Dominic and he loved showing off his new move of walking with his cart. We first started with presents and Dominic did such a great job opening everything from the bag gifts to ones that were wrapped. Christmas defiantly helped prep for this moment. He had several helpers and his 1st one was his cousin Kayleigh. Dominic loved having her help out as they presents together. Then Daddy and Cousin Brendan were taking pics and selfies too… silly boys. One of our dear friends Becky loves to take pictures and she was right in the heart of the action. She took so many cute pics and captures many precious moments of Dominic’s day.
Dominic’s favorite person of the day was Bampa, not his mommy or daddy which was sad but it’s a phase right…haha. When it was time for cake, Bampa went to put Dominic in his high chair and he was NOT having it. That is why Mr. Dominic has his baby blue pacifier in his mouth in a few pics with his Birthday cake. Dominic absolutely loved his icing from the cake, just like his mommy. He didn’t each much of the cake for the pictures but snacked on it later that night. He was not as messy as we anticipated but I have a feeling the next go-round will not be so clean.
After cake, Dominic ate some lunch. Yes we did desert before the meal, that’s okay
for the birthday boy. He LOVED his
nanners which are bananas and then ate some pasta, and we cut up more birthday cake
for him so he could really taste how yummy the cake is his mommy made.
As we were nearing the end of the afternoon and Dominic woke
from his afternoon nap, Auntie Stacey, Uncle Freddy, Frederick and their newest
addition Alexander were able to make it down and we loved the visit. Dominic and Frederick are one year and 2
months apart in age but Frederick plays really well with him. Dominic still gets really excited with
certain toys and Frederick tries to help Dominic settle down. He is such a great cousin and we were so
happy they were able to spend time together on this special day, playing and
hanging out.
Thank you for the love this week from all of our family and friends all over. We love you so much!!
