tante meech's idea of babysitting

"dominic, you play here with the toilet and plunger while i blow-dry my hair and put on makeup"

melissa's new coworker

hey!

"what's with your obsession with nudie pics of me?  if i pee on this bed it's not my fault..."

you should see the other guy

(just kidding, he was eating cherries)

cheeky monkey

this silly guy took off his diaper and frolicked around in his crib during naptime!  when i came in to see why he wasn't sleeping, he was very proud of himself.  i managed to capture the moment for all eternity (hopefully to be shown at something like his high school graduation).

starbucks

michelle is starting him early...

tongue whistle

yippee

whistler

we went to whistler with jen, trev & theo.  theo said "hi" by pulling dominic's hair...

...but then dominic ate theo's shoe...

...and they became best friends again.

dominic waded in the lake:

dominic & theo fighting over mathias' id card:

theo: "hey, that looks cool"

dom: "give it back!"

theo: "i didn't really want it anyways" 

the guys carried the kids:

dominic at milestones

look at these cuties:

i heart opa

dominic has yerba mate every morning with opa:

they formed a mutual admiration society...

and opa even babysat!  (no poopy diapers please, dominic)

only opa could get this tired little guy to sleep at a party...
