10 months old

Dominic is 10 months old today!

How time flies! Here is a brief status report.

He has taken to porridge well, and still drinks a decent amount of milk everyday.

Dom's digestive system is like mine, a bit rugged and slow, so he is on a 2 portions of fruit and 2 portions of vegetables diet a day. This works well and he poos everyday or once every 2 days.

He can crawl on his tummy quite well although always with reluctance and only if he has to! Lately he is slow to crawl but instead tries to hoist himself up like a push-up, or on his knees. I think he is trying to crawl on fours but has not figured out how to do so yet! You go, boy! He is also trying to sit up from the on-fours position. He has succeeded a few times, so there is still much practice needed on the playmat!

Dominic has been to two express photoshoots. Photos from both turned out very nice :) Next up - photoshoots with Daddy so we can have some family shots.

Boy is a tiger at home, yelling and playing and sometimes bullying his caretakers. But when outside, Dominic is quite insecure when in new situations and meeting new people. He has koala tendencies, clinging on to us and burying his head in our shoulders. Mummy hopes to encourage him more by exposing him to playgroups on weekends.

We are now in the midst of preparing for Dom's first birthday party. Pieces are falling into place! There are many things to consider, but Mummy will try to organize a fun time for birthday boy and family and yet not break the bank. :P Dom may wear his first pair of shoes too on his first birthday - how exciting!
