Naps and Nipples: June 12th

June 12th- Mr. Goofy strikes again

Today Dominic was a big ol’ goofball. This morning when he was ready to get up out of the crib Dominic started crying like he does every morning. When I went to go check on him he smiled up at me with this big goofy smile. I couldn’t help but smile right back at him with my own big goofy smile. See Dominic already knows how to play his Mommy. He uses what I call the Page Charm Smile and I just can’t resist. The Page Charm by the way is passed down from generation to generation with the males in JW’s family. The Grandpa, Uncle, Daddy and Son all have a way of “charming” their way out of being in trouble. It’s a well used and evil little talent that as I said each of the males have. Dominic uses it well and all the time already, I can only imagine what it will be like having two of these charmers in our household. The Mommy is DOOMED!!

Tonight while Mommy and Daddy where watching a movie, Mommy had a Dr. Pepper can. Dominic was fascinated by the can so I moved it closer to him. Once it was in arms reach Dominic began to smack it with his right hand over and over. Every time I put it up to my mouth to take a drink, he would just stare at me in amusement. I am not sure why he was so interested in the can but it entertained him for nearly an hour.

Another goofy moment Dominic had involved his pacifier. While holding Dominic to help him go to sleep (it’s after midnight and he is still awake, apparently staying up late on weekends goes for him too) he had his pacifier as he does every night. I looked down as he spit it out and began to lick the paci like a popsicle or sucker. It was so funny the entire time he was licking it Dominic had the biggest grin on his face. Even now Dominic is laying on the couch just talking away to his froggy and hollering his new found sound, which by the way sounds like he says “Mum.” When I went over to go talk to him, he smiled at me. Honestly the responsive smiles are the best moments of my life. They squeeze your heart so tight and no matter what happened that day, or what mood you are in those smiles will make you feel amazing and not able to stop smiling!!
