Leap Year Baby

Happy 18th birthday, Mom! Love you!

18 Months

It sure does go by quickly. Dominic is 18 months old, talking, running, climbing and ornery as ever! He loves to watch Barney (I need to find a Barney for him!), he's a great sleeper (12-14 hours every night) but he's a PICKY eater. Mommy isn't a short order cook...or really any kind of cook for that matter...so baby D better start eating. Although, he does like bathroom cleaner (caught him just in time before he sucked it down) but he won't eat chocolate. Go figure. At his 18 month check up, his weight was perfect so apparently he's getting enough calories. He keeps up with our busy schedule and loves to play with Giana. We sneak in some fun activities while G's at school like library time, baby play groups, toddler trampoline time at Skyzone, toddler play at local churches and community center play time. Love having the one on one time with him. He's been a joy. Pure joy.

"What are we doing today, Mommy?"

I've created a sweet monster and Giana has been busy! We've covered a lot of "fun" over the past couple of months. She loves the library so we spend time there doing story time, crafts and reading. She got her own library card a few weeks ago and she's just thrilled about it! Between school, crafts, library, play dates, massages (she has a good life), sleepovers, indoor parks and art class...we have been busy and I'm tired! But Giana is the energizer bunny and there's no time for rest. Sleep is overrated.

Valentine's Day 2012

Doing a Valentine's craft at a Mom's Club party.

Learning a little bit of french, the language of love.

Valentines day gift from Dominic and I.

Trying to get a picture of the two of them is IMPOSSIBLE these days. Love my little princess and her happy spirit. Dominic is my main man even though his shirt says "most eligible bachelor." Love, love love these two.

After meeting Dominic for lunch, Giana and I came home and made chocolate covered strawberries. They were Daddy's gift from all of us. He loved them. :)

Superbowl 2012

Dominic's parents bought a new, LARGE, 60 inch television for their family room so they decided to have a Superbowl party to break it in. It was a good excuse to throw a party. Right Papa? :)

I know, not the right jersey but it's the only one we had to wear on him. Dominic bought him this...he couldn't resist. And one more reason to say "GO BUCKS!"

Giana watching the half time show and cleaning up red wine. She was all about helping clean the carpet.

YUM! And this was just the dessert table. He had appetizers and dinner, too.

Sweet G.

Disney on Ice 100th Anniversary Show

Magical!

I love this picture. My mom and three of her grandchildren.

Giana covering her eyes from the "mean" parts.

My mom, sister and I enjoyed it, too!
