Dominic's first trip to the Barber
We took Dominic to the Barber Shop for his very first haircut.
Even with all of the twisting and squirming, I think Eddie managed to give him a good cut. We have such a handsome little boy!

Celebration Weekend
We celebrated Dominic all weekend long. Thank you to everyone who came from near and far to help make it so special.
Birthday Bib - Thanks, Aunt Catherine!
When Dominic was born, ZiZi Denise and ZiZi Frank sent us a cookie boquet. Vinny and I took the one with Dominic's name on it and put in the freezer for him to enjoy on his first birthday. Looks like it was worth the wait - he got to have it as a breakfast treat that morning.
The three of us
Party favors that paid tribute to Dominic's love for Mickey Mouse - our party theme.
More Mickey!
Dominic sporting his second birthday bib of the day - Thanks Grandma and Grandpa!
Zack and Natalie, otherwise known as "Littleland," the childrens' band who came to sing all of Dominic's favorite songs for him and his friends. Luckily, the rain stopped just long enough for them to set up, perform and get packed up again.
With Daddy! 
Mickey Cake - YUMMY!
With Aunt Angela!
Singing Happy Birthday
Dominic's first taste of icing that Mommy smeared off the cake.
First piece of cake! 
Messy face...
Opening presents
Playing with Aunt Catherine
More Daddy!
Relaxing in his Yankee chair like a big boy the morning after his big bash.
Saying good bye to Aunt Catherine. We miss you already - please come back soon!

Happy 1st Birthday, Dominic!
Dear Dominic -
Your first year has gone by so quickly. We are so happy to have you in our lives - you brighten our day, each and every day. We are so proud of all you have accomplished this year.
From when you were just hours old and learned to use your little lips to suck so you could eat, to learning how to smile and laugh, to rolling, then crawling and most recently, your first steps. You're not quite walking yet, but you'll be there very soon! You've also learned to give a kiss, do clap hands and high five. Your little personality emerges more and more each day - you love to laugh and play, but you can also be very pensive and serious at times. We like to think that you are the perfect mix of both of us! You are VERY talkative and we can't wait until you learn to speak our language so we can understand all of those exciting things you are saying! A few of your favorite things this year have been Mickey Mouse, bath time, carrots, applesauce and anything sweet, yogurt and cheese, and your musical zoo toy. You currently have 7 teeth - four on top and three on the bottom. You already love to brush your teeth all by yourself.
We can't wait for the adventures that your second year will bring.
All our love,
Mommy and Daddy

Early Birthday Present
Dear ZiZi Frank, ZiZi Denise, Brooke & Jake -
Thank you so much for my Yankee Table. Even though my birthday is not until next week, Daddy put it together for me right away so that I could use it. I feel like such a big boy sitting all by myself in a chair just my size! As soon as Mommy let's me use some crayons, I'll sit down at my table and write you a thank you note!
Love,
Dominic

First Bike Ride!
We took Dominic on his very first bicycle ride yesterday afternoon. He sat back, relaxed and enjoyed the ride! Not a peep came out of him the whole time, except at the very end when we stopped. We're looking forward to many more rides this fall. Thank you, Aunt Catherine, for the cutest helmet ever!

First Day of School
Daddy took Dominic to his first day of school today. There is a program for 1 year olds (they let Dominic in even though he's a few weeks early) that meets once a week at the elementary school. He got a book to take home since it is his birthday month and they even did arts and crafts. Dominic's first school artwork project is proudly hanging on our fridge - a scarecrow with moving hands and feet and a snake made from a paper plate. Ok, so I think Daddy had more fun with that than Dominic did, but we've got to start somewhere, right?
Woof, Woof!
Since Max has been temporarily relocated to our laundry room post-surgery, his crate has been vacant for the past couple of weeks. Dominic has been exploring around it more and more. He taught himself how to open and close both of the latches and also likes to pretend to be Max and climb inside...
Swing Time
The weather was so nice on Saturday that we just had to get out and enjoy it. We took Dominic to a nearby park after dinner. He loves the swing, but even more, he loved just watching all of the other kids play and seeing all of the excitement going on.

Getting there...
We bought Dominic a push toy a couple of weeks ago. He is really getting the hang of it now and is much more confident with it. He was definitely showing off for the camera this morning when I took this one.
Nonna's Visit
Dear Nonna,
Thank you for coming to visit me. I had so much fun with you these past couple of days.
I can't wait until you come again!
Love,
Dominic

11 Months!
Today is Dominic's 11 month birthday! We can't believe how fast it went.
Dominic weighs about 18 lbs and has 7 teeth. He can stand on his own for quite a while and has good balance. He is getting very good at walking with his walker toy. Dominic LOVES to climb! He is starting to eat more and more different types of foods and loves them. These days he prefers to feed himself off of his high chair tray rather than have Mommy feed him "baby" food. Just one more month until the big ONE!
