How my baby boy went from this
Weight and height: just over 22 lbs and about 28" tall
Sleeping patterns: He takes a couple of naps a day, mostly one long one, which is what they do in the one-year room at daycare. It's amazing what a bedtime routine does to get him wound down. He could be going bonkers down in the living room, but when we bring him up to his bedroom and go through the routine he is out within 15-20 minutes.
Eating habits: His favorite food is Goldfish crackers. He also loves cheese sticks, turkey, applesauce, saltines, and animal crackers. He'll eat chocolate teddy grahams but prefers the salty foods. Definitely like his dad.
New discoveries he's made: Grass is tolerable! He's so fun to play outside with now. He also figured out that dirt is not yummy, and that wine is not for babies.
On his birthday, Grandpa was talking on the phone and Dom put his hand up to his ear and babbled. Since then, he does it whenever he sees someone on the phone. We got him a toy phone for his birthday, but it's too different from our phones for him to generalize. But he'll dance to the music of it, so I guess it will do.
Dom imitates everything we do now. He tried to do push ups when I was working out this morning, and he likes to brush his teeth. We play naptime and have dance parties with him copying my sweet moves. When I said "night night" to him the other night, he said "ny ny" back to me. I love this age!
Accomplishments: He's able to stand on his own with no support for a little bit. He'll take one or two before he falls forward. He really likes to play Trust Fall with us now. He's also starting to figure out how to go down the stairs, which has resulted is a dive from the 3rd step onto the hardwood floor.
Playtime is more fun, now that Dom is starting to have more functional play. We roll a ball back and forth, and he'll sometimes throw it. He also pushes trucks and trains around, and will play with a shape sorter. He likes to drum on stuff and hammer things with his new toy from Grandma.
Places he went: Brian and Dominic went to Omaha for Bennett's baptism.
Special friends he's made: His buddies came over for his birthday party, and it was so fun to see them all play together.
Noises and babbles: He screamed "DADA" at the doctor the other day when I was holding him down for the doc to look in his ear. So yeah, that word is pretty clear! He also says Mama, baba, and kiki (kitty cat) sometimes. He makes raspberry noises all the time, and says lalalala. He also loves to yell, which can be pretty hilarious. We took one-year pictures the other day and he was playing with balloons, screaming like a banshee the entire time. It was pretty amazing!
It addition to all the noises, he's also signing "more' and "milk".
Firsts:
First birthday party, trip to the zoo, and train ride
Dominic and I went to the zoo for the first time for a friend's birthday party. I can't wait to take Dom to the zoo when he's a little bigger!

We had Dom's birthday party last weekend, and it was a blast. He loved all the attention and all his new toys (and I loved his new clothes and shoes). We're so blessed to have such loving family and friends to help us celebrate!
He did not, however, love cake. Is this kid even mine?!?! He's had a couple other times of trying cake in this last week, and he has no interest in it.

Top teeth
Dominic has 3 new teeth in the last month, 2 of which are almost all the way through with one starting to poke out.
First scribbles
Brian has Dominic "sign" my mother's day card - so sweet! And the other day, I gave Dom some crayons and paper. He scribbled a bit, but was more interested in trying to eat the crayons.
Other adventures this month: Bess took his one year pictures, and we had a blast playing outside. And of course, he chose to eat Goldfish instead of cake.
