One month to the day after we started with Physical Therapy, Dominick took his first stroll on all fours. I had just gotten home from work and saw him push himself up onto his hands and knees. I immediately grabbed the iPad and caught his first attempt. November 26th will live in infamy. Of course, it took him another month until he was comfortable enough to crawl with speed. Now, there's no stopping him.

Climbing stairs
This was originally posted January 7th, but disappeared!
Dominick climbed an entire flight of stairs today! Jason only had to catch him once. Pam is back this week for PT. Since it's a state run program through the ISD, she follows the school schedules and they've been off for the holidays. She comes on Tuesday and I'm excited to see her reaction to his progress and get new assignments. We feel fortunate that we have her. We're learning so much about child development. Some of it I remember from nursing school and some of it is new.
Also, he said his first word! He babbles a lot, but hasn't really repeated anything we've said except for animal noises. Not counting "woof woof" and "moooooo", "eyes" was his first word. He knows some body parts and he points to them when we say them. A few days ago, I taught him where his eyes are and he kept repeating it "eyesh". He also grins and shows his teeth whenever he says it. My external hard drive is still broken, so no video proof of this yet.

Christmas 2011
The holidays were great, but exhausting. We had 4 family Christmases. We celebrated with Jason's family in Miami early December. On Christmas Day, we drove to my Grandmother's for the day. Dominick still doesn't open his own presents, but really enjoyed the activity block we got him.
Next, we had Christmas at my parents house. The ENTIRE family was there. All my sisters with their husbands and kids. We had a blast and Dominick got to show off his new crawling skills. Then, we came home and had our own little Christmas with just the 3 of us.
