Our Little Monkey Is 9 Months Old!!

Dominic has made the past nine months of our lives the best EVER!!!  He constantly makes us laugh with his "language" and hand gestures--if only we could understand what he is trying to communticate to us!!  He is such a happy guy; he's always smiling. His latest talents lie in getting up on all fours and rocking in place, pulling himself up, "so big," feeding himself, and practicing his favorite hand gestures: waving, clapping, & a "come-here"-type motion.  It is getting more and more difficult to get him to sit still for a photo session since he has discovered that his belly-crawl can take him off the playmat he's been used to spending his days on.  He loves to try to get into the bathrooms or bedrooms to explore.  Mommy is definitely getting a workout!  Our dog, Athena, has taken on the responsibility of following him around and keeping her eye on him.
