Naps and Nipples: July 4th, 5th, & 6th

July 4th- Happy Independence Day

We didn’t really do much for the holiday since Dominic is still too young to pay attention to the fireworks. We did go to a very yummy BBQ at our friend’s Cassie and Travis’s house. Dominic was wide awake and very interested in all the new sites, and on occasion he would notice Ryker and stare at him for a short time and then be sidetracked by something on the wall or the kitty cat.

When we got home Dominic had a very fun bath time. He is getting to were each night he splashes a little more and wants to stay in a little longer. He loves his bath times and now I have to get him to stop playing so I can actually wash him. While in the tub his Daddy was talking to him and he laughed out loud at him. He is always laughing and smiling really big at his Daddy, but who can blame him, his Daddy is a big dork. I guess the saying is true…. Like Father, Like Son!!

July 5th- I can do it all by myself…sorta!

Dominic is starting to find sitting positions where he doesn’t need support to keep up. When sitting on Mommy or Daddy’s lap he can generally sit up with out our help. If he bend over to touch he toes he can do it while sitting on the couch all by himself. I can’t believe how babies develop from day to day, he will be in school before I know it at this rate!

July 6th- Changes

Dominic’s day was full of changes. We officially packed up the last of his newborn clothes and are in size 0-3’s! A new formula and baby food was introduced today. Dominic has a big spit up issue. He spits up all day long so we are now going to try the Similac less spit up formula. As of right now we are doing half of his old formula and half new so it won’t upset his stomach too much, and eventually I will wean him off of the old formula completely to see how well the spit up kind works. We ran out of applesauce and went ahead and tried the sweet potato. He didn’t seem to care for it too much at first, he did eat all his cereal eventually, but it is definitely not his favorite just yet.

On top of food changes, we also changed diapers. Wal-Mart was out of Pampers so we bought Huggies and we moved up to size 2. The size 1 still fit but are getting to be snug, the size 2 fit really well, and they have a mess catcher which should be interesting.

Dominic had many changes in his life today but as I knew he would, he adjusted perfectly! I know its early but I swear the new formula is going to work because he hasn’t spit up yet, here’s crossing our fingers!!
