8 Months along

"Happy 8 months, our precious. Mommy & daddy love you very much."

Wow, hard to believe that right at 8 months ago our precious son entered this world. Time sure does fly by. Well here's the scoop.

Dominic's next well baby appointment isn't until next month, at which time he'll have his 9 month well baby exam and yep you guessed it more shots. Anyhow read on.

By now Dominic has 4 sharp teeth & I do mean sharp & is crawling. Okay, so he's been crawling, but it's adorable how sometimes he only crawls on one knee and foot. Sometimes if you watch him on the drive way he'll crawl on his hands a feet vice the knees w/his but in the air.

Another mile stone is he now is at the stage where he's pulling himself up onto things (i.e. couches, coffee tables & just about anything he can get his hands on -including people). With that said, yes, he's started walking w/support from above mentioned objects. When coached he can even take a few steps with us holding onto his arms/hands.

Last week, Dominic had is first ever swimming lessons. Boy does he love the water, unlike a few others in the class. He looked so adorable in those swimming trunks, too, compliments of dad. He was the youngest, but the cutest. It was only a week long class and at the end we were presented w/a certificate of completition. That would be Dominic's first certificate, w/exception of his birth certificate.

Tam, our little son is growing so fast. But that means soon you'll be home, keep growing Dominic. Thank you for blessing me w/such a great gift. Hurry home, but be safe.

To tide the rest of you over, here are a few pictures of the little tyke (not so little any more).

"Thanks daddy, for the cool trunks."

"Can I bit you next?"
