How old are you? Oooonnnneeee

We've probably been driving Dominic crazy with all of our badgering about his upcoming birthday. At least 50 times I day, I ask him "HOW OLD ARE YOU?" He never answers me (although he does sometimes laugh), so I am forced to answer with an emphatic "OOONNEEEE!" You can sort of tell he wants to roll his eyes and I'm sure he would if he knew how.


Speaking of his upcoming birthday, Derek and I have definitely been reflecting about the past year. We went to the beach with Dominic a few weeks back and it reminded us of the trip we'd taken there with him just after he was born. What a difference a year makes!

And speaking of the beach (aren't I fantastic at these transitions?), we're getting Dominic all psyched up to go to Hawaii at the end of June. Here he is in his new sun hat...which is pretty much hates.

Lastly, I hope the Hallidays won't mind but I gave Dominic part of his birthday present from them--the water table below--a few days early. It was pretty hot here today and we thought it was a perfect day to try it out. Dominic was totally soaked in 30 seconds and absolutely loved it. It's the longest I've ever actually seen him stand.
