I've been home with Dominick for the last 10 days for our Spring Break. I'll admit, the first few days of this past week were not very enjoyable. Dominick was sick and the most cranky I had ever seen him. But around Wednesday, he started feeling a little better and I have just enjoyed him soooo very much. He is such a blessing and is beginning to do so many new things. This child completely amazes me!!!

Dominick is beginning to try to say so many new words, he probably says between 20-30 words. They aren't clear but I can understand what he's saying. He can also count to 3!!! No joke, I've been counting items around the house with him for months (remember I'm a first grade teacher, that's what I do). So this week when I said one and held up my finger, he'd held up a few fingers and say "two" and then "three". Now he doesn't hold up the correct amount of fingers, he's just imitating me. He also knows the sign language for "Momma, Daddy, more, eat, go, no more, bath". Also when he's excited he usually says "Oooooo". He saw a new toy at the mall last night and he brought it to me and said "Ooooo" and I said "Wow" and then he started saying "Wow". So cute! He seems that he understands everything I say to him. It kinda freaks me out sometimes.

One more thing...this child LOVES to watch THE WIGGLES!!! He has been walking around the house for the last week flapping his arms like a duck saying "QUACK-QUACK, DOO-DOO-DOO" . I finally figured out today what he's doing. There is a song on THE WIGGLES that says "QUACK-QUACK, QUACK-QUACK, COCK-A-DOODLE-DO..." and they dance around like ducks. Sooo sweet! My Little Man is a genuis! And I can say that because he didn't get his brains from Jon or I.

This is an outfit we bought Dominick in Guatemala. I had forgotten about it and then remembered the other day and was hoping he hadn't out grown it before he ever wore it. He wore this to his doctor's appointment. I took him to see a pediatric surgeon to discuss having him circumcised. Because of the way Dominick is formed, the doctor recommended waiting a year to have it done. I've done a lot of research on circumcision and have given it a lot of thought over the last year and I really want it done for several personal reasons. If any of you have an uncircumcised boy and have any input, please let me know. Because I have to wait a whole year, I'm going to stay open about the whole decision.

This is Dominick's chocolate Easter bunny that still hasn't been opened. I'm scared to open it because I don't have a lot of selfcontrol when it comes to chocolate.
