Life with Dominic

The last 8 weeks have been quite an adventure! Dominic is so much fun, he's smiling and talking and will hold onto toys. It's so cute! I love staying home with him all day, he's normally pretty happy and still sleeps quite a bit. Spencer has been back to work for about 6 weeks now, when he comes home he hangs out with the little man, we eat dinner, put him to bed at 8 and then we do our P90X workout. We have a busy evening routine, but it works for now.

We have been following the Babywise sleeping philosophy and Dominic is only waking up once (at most) a night, there are times that he will sleep til 6 AM so I'll get up with him and feed him. We started this new routine when he was about 4 weeks old and he started sleeping better instantly. He's so awesome. :) Hopefully he will sleep through the entire night soon, 8-8 would be nice!
Here are some cute pics from the last few weeks
We've been doing tummy time and he is getting so good at holding his head up, he also loves to stand up. This is our official Tummy Time blanket.
We've gone on several walks with Dominic and the dogs. Sometimes Dominic will sleep the whole time, but sometimes he will scream the whole time. lol


This was Dominic's first holiday, St Patricks Day. His cute shirt said 'Irish you would kiss me', we went to grandma and grandpa Smith's house for dinner. Notice Spencer's and Dominic's matching hats!

At first, Dominic didn't like the bouncer chair, but he's warming up to it. He likes to look at the mobile that attaches to it. He's so funny and starts kicking his legs and moving his arms all over the place when he gets excited.

Here's a cute picture of him smiling! I need to get more pictures like this one!

He loves walking around with dad :) If he's crying Spencer will pick him up and start walking around with him like this and he stops crying.

Here we are on Easter, he fit in his giant egg from grandma! Too funny! It's hard to tell, but Spencer and Dominic have matching ties on :)

Dominic has met a couple friends over the last few weeks. Here we are with my sister Hillery and baby Caleb. Caleb is 2 1/2 weeks younger than Dominic.

Here we are with Lindsay and baby Dan. Dan is 6 weeks younger than Dominic.

This is one of my favorite pictures of us, it was taken right after his bath. He just looks so sweet!

Spencer and Dominic at Spencer's birthday brunch. They have matching shirts on here. I like to make them match :)

Dominic loves his swing!

Newborn pictures

Dominic had some newborn pictures taken when he was 1 week and 6 days old. We LOVE his pictures! He is just a beautiful baby. He was so good when he was getting his picture taken, he slept the majority of the time and only fussed a little bit, such a good baby. :) Enjoy!
