Dominic's eyes are changing colors

Dominic's eyes are changing colors!
I was convinced that Dominic would keep his blue eyes as he had blue eyes from birth until his 3rd birthday. At first they were so dark deep blue, just incredible blue. Then they slowly got lighter in color. Well, so far that's also true for Juliana's eyes.

A few days ago, Dominic was asking what eye color he has. I told him 'blue'. They were always blue. It sounded like somebody told him differently, as he asked me if they were not green. He was happy to hear me telling him he has blue eyes, like he alwas did.
Well, then I took a closer look .... and his eyes are actually GREY with some areas turning slightly GREEN! Green, just like his Daddy's eyes!
I can't believe it! My son is 3 years old and his eye color has just changed!!!

I have to admit, I am a bit sad as I thought even though Dominic looks more like his Daddy than me, at least he inherited my blue eyes. Not anymore...

Unfortunately, Dominic really wants to have BLUE eyes. When I told him a day ago that they seem to be changing colors, he got upset. Mmh. I'll drop that subject for a while. Hope, he won't ask again.

Mamam

Today, I heard the first 'mamam' from my sweet daughter. It is so precious to see her growing and changing!

Not as much was: Juliana had diarrhea today ... I guess, she got it from me as I had stomach problems last week. I thought, I had eaten something wrong, but now I know it was actually a virus. Hope, it won't take her long to get better.

Dominic's Painting

The other day Dominic started this painting out with a large orange "D" in the center which he pointed out to me, exclaiming: "That's my name!"
As he was painting a little longer, he told me that he was painting this picture for our good friend Aivy who we had visited a day earlier! This is so wonderful - it seems he appreciates our friend Aivy as much as I do! :)

Dominic remembers things that are so long ago - it is just amazing!
This morning he was so sweet, when Klaus and Dominic were ready to leave the house, I was kneeing together with Juliana and he gave her a hug and gently petted her. Intensively looking at her, Dominic said: "She is holding her head." Wow. He is really paying attention!
In the end of August, Dominic and Jacob are starting at Montessori. I am looking forward to it! Currently, I have the feeling, he is bored when he is at Emmanuel.

Every day, Dominic says that he misses his Grandma. He adds, that he wants to fly to her and stay in Germany. I tell him, that his Grandma promised to come back to see us. Since his received the recent picture postcard from Grandpa Norbert, Dominic also expects Norbert to come visit us.

I think, Juliana is already teething... She is usually a very calm and not-high-need baby. I am so very grateful!!! Yesterday though, she was just not content, woke up screaming in the night (usually she just sleeps through - amazing!), had a lot of bowel movements, spit-ups. Always sucking on her fingers and lots of saliva. I bet, in about a month she'll have her first tooth coming through!
