Phx zoo and other videos

Here are some pictures we took while at the Phoenix zoo with Mary Ellen's family (parents and the Weilands-8 of them!)

Here is Joe with (left to right) Claire, Brandon, Dominic, and Emma.

Grandpa Muir, Brandon, Ryan, Dominic (with Emma's hat and glasses), and Emma

Dominic with his oldest nephew...they were so cute together. Brandon really took good care of him!

Emma jumping!

Brandon suggested that Dominic give this parrot a dollar bill because it will actually pick it out of his hand! We were pleasantly surprised that Dominic didn't get scared and handled the parrot wonderfully. Brandon had more faith in him than we did, I suppose!:)

Joe, Claire, Grandpa Muir, Emma, Brandon, Gram Muir, Dominic, Theresa, and baby Paul (in the sling!)

Spotting the elephants. Dominic was more interested in the empty water bottle on the ground, I think.

John, Brandon, Dominic, Mary Ellen, Claire with "Aslan."

Claire, what a cutie

Everyone's favorite activity at the zoo! Dominic ran right to it. Milkin' the cow!

Here are some videos from early to mid November. The last one is the first of many videos taken during our Thanksgiving trip to the U.P.

Christmas and....Leaves in the Fall!

The pictures are more from our Christmas in Arizona.

There's Mary Elise....the little Santa of the day

Aunt Andrea and Uncle Kevin got Dominic (made it actually!!) his really cute hooded towel his his initials on it!!

Of course, he had to cuddle with it first to make sure he liked it:)

Cuddletime with Gram.....that sticker on his head was from Mary Elise and says "Ho Ho Ho"

The first video is just of Dominic putting his feet up on the highchair, which I thought was cute and funny (from Oct). But most of these videos are from an outing to Maybury State Park (only 10 minutes away and a fantastic wooded park) in late October. Dominic was just learning to walk then, so it was pretty cute to see him tromping through the leaves.

Sept and Oct videos!!

Here are a bunch of videos from late Sept and early October. Most of these are from our Steubenville trip and Pumpkin Patch/Farm/Hay Ride trip with the Crawfords. Luke Jr. are Timothy make some great appearances:)
Sorry these are so old...but I'm finally now going through the videos.

Chasing the squirrel

These were all taken back in Oct/Nov, but I'll post them anyway. Dominic loved chasing the squirrel around. I was much more nervous than he was!

see the squirrel???

Helping Dad put up the coat rack.

He's still nervous in the bath, but sometimes will enjoy it a little bit.
