8 months

Dominick turned 8 months today. I was supposed to work in the afternoon, but got cancelled. Instead of staying home, I brought Dominick to work and Jason and I walked him around and visited with people who haven't seen him in a while. It was nice to show off Dominick in the flesh instead of just pictures.

Here is what's going on with him these days:

I have no idea how much he weighs, but he's wearing 12-18 month clothes.
He sits up very well and only falls over once in a while.
He rolls over both ways, especially in his crib at night. We have discovered him sleeping on his belly a few times.
He babbles "Mamamama" a lot.
He eats 3 meals of solids a day and still nurses.
He has liked everything he's eaten so far.
We are moments away from lowering his crib mattress. I don't want to wait until he can pull up to do it.
He takes 3 naps once he wakes up around 9am and until he goes to sleep around 8pm.
No stranger anxiety yet.
Still no teeth, which is fine with me!

I have no new pictures to add. I added them all to the last post. Sorry!

Sitting Up

Dominick started sitting up a couple weeks ago and it's getting better every day. He still needs some assistance. He's rolling over but not to get anywhere. He's pretty content with just staying put for now. Thank God. I'm not ready for a crawling baby.

He's still eating really well. He hasn't turned his nose up at anything I've fed him yet. Grandma gave him his first dill pickle. He was unsure, but I gave him one the other day again and he loved it. He cried when I took it away.

He loves to spend time on the floor with his daddy. The two were spotted watching the Braves the other night. This was not choreographed. I totally found them this way.

1 year already?

Today, it's been one year since Jason and I were married. While I was out to lunch with a friend, Jason left me a dozen roses and a beautiful card that made me cry. I would like to take a moment to give him some attention.

He is so chivalrous and such a gentleman. He opens doors and carries my bags without fail. He always kisses me good morning and good night. He makes me laugh every day. He loves to dance at home and in public. Just the other night, we slow danced in the living room to a commercial. I love him with all my heart and often feel he is too good to be true. I consider myself a very lucky woman and I'm grateful for each day we have together.

And now for some gratuitous pics..
