January 2010

What a difference a couple of months make! Dominic now whines for us to stop rocking him and put him in his crib at bedtime. I think this is a good thing? Our little baby is growing up so fast - 10 months on the 25th!

With the holiday madness over, January was a much less busy month. Dominic got to play with his buddies Braden and Sierra when the Przysiecki's came to visit on the 16th. Although I think he did more toy stealing than anything else, we'll have to work on that.

Dominic is getting more and more daring in his walks along all of the furniture, walls, and cabinets - and does let go and balance standing for long stretches. He recently took two steps, but speed crawling remains his primary mode of transportation in open space. He loves to play "so big" and can now also find mommy's nose (but not his own!). We are still working on waving bye-bye with consistency. He has also learned the art of throwing mini-tantrums. These usually involve taking away a cell phone or remote control.

Dominic is very happy that Grandma Robyn has been feeling much better the last few weeks! She had four more tumors successfully "zapped" with gamma-knife radiation brain surgery on the 22nd and will be starting on a new chemothearpy regimen next week. Hopefully this one is not such a butt-kicker.
