My cousins came to visit me!

Dear Julianna, Victoria, ZiZi Louie, & ZiZi Lisa,
Thank you so much for making the time to stop and come visit me. It was really fun having you here. Max told me to tell you that he had a great time too!
I miss you already!
Love,
Dominic

My Valentine...

We had fun celebrating Dominic's first Valentine's Day...He even gave Mommy and poster-sized card. Thanks to everyone for their gifts and V-day wishes...

3 Month Photo Shoot

Couldn't you just eat him up?

Bumbo Seat

Now that Dominic is getting so much stronger, we figured we'd give this seat a shot.
I think he likes it! (Thanks, Cousin Vincent for sharing!)

3 Months and 5 days old...

NC Snow Storm 2009!

We had our first and probably last snow storm of the year. We got about 4-6 inches. The last time it snowed like this was in 2004. As you can see, Max loved it.

Dominic tells a story.

Big Boy!!

Upon our return from New York this week, Dominic began sleeping in his crib instead of in the bassinet in Mommy & Daddy's room. He's doing really well and loves his turtle mobile. He's growing up so fast!!!

Happy New Year!

Dominic rung in the new year with his "girlfriend" Alexandra. Unfortunately, he wasn't able to snag a New Year's kiss out of her since he was already fast asleep in his crib well before midnight. Alexandra is our friends, Rick and Jennifer's baby girl who also shares the same birthday as Dominic. We were finally able to get a family photo of all three of us over at Tommy and Maria's house, where we celebrated New Year's Day with a delicious feast!

A New York Christmas

Here are a few snapshots of our trip to New York to celebrate Dominic's first Christmas.
We had a great time staying at Grandma and Grandpa's house and enjoyed visiting everyone.
Dominic got to meet a lot of his family for the very first time. He also saw his first snow and celebrated his 2 month birthday on Christmas Eve. However, as you can see by the last picture, we were exhausted by the end and ready to come back to our home sweet home.

Dominic's Baptism - December 20, 2008

Well, the day started with some snow and ice, but luckily everyone was able to make it to Dominic's Christening in New York at St. Matthew's Church done by Father Chadwick. This was the same church and priest where Mommy & Daddy got married. We don't have too many pictures, because Dominic decided to cry throughout the ceremony and sleep during the entire party. It still turned out to be a wonderful day and I think a nice time was had by all...

Xmas Exchange '08 at the Miceli's

Yesterday was a big day for the little man - he turned 7 weeks, got his shots,
went to ZiZi Maria and ZiZi Tommy's house for the first time and had his first
bottle out of the house! Oh, and got his very first Christmas presents.

Happy Thanksgiving

Turkey and football, can't beat it.

Bath Time

The first time Dominic took his bath he hated it, now he never wants to come out. He loves his bath time.

One Month Check Up

Dominic got his one month check up today and all is well. He is 8 lbs. 2 ozs. and 20.5 inches.

Big Boy Clothes

Hey Aunt Linda -
Check me out in my big boy penguin outfit - don't I look cute?!?!

Activity Mat

Dominic loves to play on his activity mat and has started "tummy time" this week with Mommy.
He is one strong little boy!

New Pics

My friend Jennifer told me she needed to see some new pics, so it motivated me to finally download what I had on my camera. Here are a few random shots...

Coming home from the hospital (in the outfit that Grandma and Grandpa bought him)
