A few noteworthy things have happened with Dominic over the past several weeks. The biggest thing has been the "Battle of the Sippy Cup" and going through the process of weaning him off of his bottle. We found out the hard way that in Dominic's case, we needed to go cold turky and just pack up all the bottles and put them away only offering liquids from a cup. In response, he pretty much went on a liquids strike for about a week or so - no matter what type of drinking vessel you put it in and trust me, we tried pretty much every kind there is. We even tempted him with straight juice and chocolate milk, but this is one stubborn boy. Things must be on his terms. Luckily, although it is an ongoing process, he is starting to drink again and more than he has in a good long while over the past couple of days.
Through most of November and early December, we had some issues with Dominic's ears and infections. Thankfully, they have been clear for about two solid weeks now. However, once his ears finally cleared up, he got a virus, which the Doctor is pretty sure was Roseola based on the rash he broke out in earlier this week. The poor kid couldn't catch a break!
By yesterday, Dominic finally seemed to be back to his old self and today I can barely keep up with him running around. He even discovered that he can "dance." Hopefully, we can get some goods shots of it soon and share.
