Dommie and Zoe Video

Here is a video of Dommie and Zoe playing in the pool at the BBQ. The video is a little pixelated, I'm not sure why. I think it has something to do with photobucket. You can see this video and more on the gallery in July 2007/Videos

Don't Worry Dommie was fine and giggling some more just a few minutes later.

A BBQ in July

A few weeks ago we invited some friends over for an impromptu BBQ. It ended up being a ton of fun!!!

Naomi, Jon and Zoe came, followed by Tia, Carrie and Ezra, and finally Heather, Michael and Heather's niece Mariah.

Check out our BBQ Adventures!

Daddy put me in the pool with my clothes on and I played with Aunt Tia

Mommie made Daddy put my swimsuit on, it's much easier to swim that way!

We had fruits, veggies, chips, and burgers! YUM!

Zoe came and we had a blast in the pool playing with Aunt Tia and the slide

Then Carrie came and brought Ezra and Mommie, Naomi, and Carrie sat around the pool while we played.

The day before the BBQ I tried to trim Dommie's hair and ended up nicking his ear. It wasn't fun. We took him to urgent care because it looked like it might need a liquid stitch or something and I was worried about infections. The doctor did give him a liquid stitch and agreed that it's an area that is highly prone to infection so he had us start Dommie on amoxicillian just in case. Everything seemed like it was fine, but the day of the BBQ Dommie fell out of the pool and pulled the cut back open. Once it stopped bleeding we decided that since we had the antibiotics then we would watch it for a few days and make sure he got the antibiotics. It's all healed now with no infection!

You can see more BBQ pictures here.
Tomorrow I will post some more pictures and maybe even a video! Stay Tuned!

Dommie and the Plant

Dommie has developed an obsession with plants over the last few months. Recently he and I both had a bad round of the flu, thankfully John didn't get it. Well, while Dommie was sick when he went to sleep he cried for the plant that sits on the kitchen counter. Since he wasn't feeling well and we just wanted him to be comfortable we let him take the plant to bed. He was so happy and didn't make a sound for the rest of the night. We took the plant away once he had fallen asleep.

Here are some pictures!

Awake and petting the plant

Finally asleep and snuggled up with the plant.

We have more pictures of Dommie with the plants in the front yard and helping Daddy with dishes here.

Dommie's First Corn on the Cob

We have been terrible about keeping this updated but I plan to add an update each day with new pictures from the past month. Today's picture update is Dominic's first experience with corn on the cob. He ate it all by himself! He was so happy and proud of himself once he figured out how it worked and he ate almost the entire thing!

Here are the pictures.

Cheesing it up for the camera

Eating his corn all by himself!

So proud of himself!

Stay tuned tomorrow for the latest on Dommie's plant obsession and check out my blog Mommie to a Dramanic for the latest in my life.
