Dominik's first words

As fourth children ourselves, Tom and I know how sometimes the newness of recording all the fun firsts wears off...so in an attempt to not be guilty myself, here are some of Dominik's first words:

dada
mama
yes
that
hi

Yesterday, he signed "more." Today he called a banana "ba" and "nana" while he was trying to get me to hurry up and mash it and give it to him.  It will be interesting to see what he settles on calling this favorite fruit.

Dominik is definitely not using recognizable speech very much (just a lot of babbling), but once in a while, he throws out a word that we can recognize and makes sense for the situation.  I'm still trying to get him to sign, so it was encouraging that he finally signed "more" to ask for more Cheerios.  I think this is about the age when he should start signing a few words.

Wow - way to go, Dominik! So loving the video's of Natalie...especially love the way she says "Samuel" when reciting the books of the Bible...can't wait to see more.
