Dominic around the house

Dominic loves playing with lego (his duplo set). He is pretty creative with it and loves making airplanes and trucks. He and Dom play lego together a lot.
Dominic also loves to draw. With markers, crayons or finger paint, he covers every inch of the paper, front and back. He is very careful with his coloring and particular with the types of colors he uses. When he first started coloring, marks would appear on the floor, chairs, walls, tables, almost everywhere, but thankfully we have trained him to only draw on paper now!
Dominic loves books. We read his favorites multiple times a day. Right now he loves the book I love you forever, Elmo books, anything with trucks, Thomas the Tank Engine and Curious George.


Dominic loves stuffed animals and carries his little dog all around the house with him. He sleeps with 3 stuffed animals, 2 toy giraffes, and 2 little trucks and has to make sure they are covered up. There's barely room for him in the crib! He also loves reading to his animals...very cute!

Dominic loves being outside, even in the cold, rainy weather.

My Little Helper

I have Dominic help me in the kitchen and with other chores as much as possible. It keeps his busy little hands occupied and out of mischief. And he also LOVES helping out. Even with dishes!
We make bread at least once a week. Later on that day Dominic was awfully quiet, so I went to see what he was doing and he was trying to make bread himself in the crockpot! He had even found a package of yeast and put it in there too...he is a very busy boy!

Snow Day

We had a late snow day in February this year! It was fun to have Dom home for the day and we all played in the snow. Dominic loves the snow!

Valentine's Day

We love going to Willamette Valley Vinyards for their Pinot Noir and Chocolate festival which happens every year on Valentine's weekend. This year we got a babysitter and went with George and Teri and had a great time!
