FOOD!

No surprise ~ this child LOVES food. We started feeding him 'solids' when he was like 3 1/2 mths . . . . he did really good with rice cereal, bananas, apples, etc.

We just spent 6 weeks in sunny AZ at Grandma and Grandpa Bayersdorffer's and we had to get serious about FOOD. Things were pretty busy - so instead of making everything from scratch (like my mother did) I bought it! : ) Grandma did almost ALL the feedings!!! Thx - mom.

His favorite's are the Ella's Kitchen Brand! He loves Bananas, Apricots and Brown Rice ~ Carrots, Apples, and Parsnips ~ Spinach and Rutabaga!
When we returned home to CA we realized that - oh, I guess we need a real high chair for our child eating real food. As most of you know  - I really wanted to use my wood high chair that my parents saved from when I was a baby. It is sitting in our garage waiting to be painted. We can't find a chair pad like they had in the 70's and Dom is having a hard time sitting in the chair.
So after many hours of reviewing ALL the options we settled on the BOON Flair Pedastal!!! Grandma Simon got it for us!!! So exciting. Can't wait to feed him in a chair that hugs his big baby body.

Obviously, someone elses cool kitchen and baby!!!

I'll post some pics of the Dommer when it arrives next week!! Hooray!

I am a bad blogger . . . .

So after not posting on here for about 4 months . . . . I realized I needed to get started!!!! I'm just not good at this stuff?!?!
Now I'm going to try and catch up . . . . hmm ~ we will see how this goes?

This little guy turned 4 months on February 20th!!! So smiley, so happy and starting to get huge!

He just keeps getting bigger and bigger - 5 months on March 20th!

Went to the pediatrician on Tuesday - this child is off the charts for height and staying in the 95% for weight!

Welcome Baby!!!!!

We welcomed baby Dominik on October 20, 2011! Because he was delivered by C-section ~ he was scheduled for arrival two weeks early. Everything went very smoothly . . . . and by 1:17pm Dominik joined us on the outside!!!! : )

He was born at John Muir Hospital in Walnut Creek, California. He was delivered by Dr. Timothy Leach!!! My favorite baby doctor of ALL time!

Grandma and Grandpa Bayersdorffer wouldn't have missed it!!!!

While in the hospital . . . . Dominik got to experience many firsts.

First Printing (hope this doesn't become a habit):

First Mug-shot (again, hopefully not habit forming):
