Dada!

Canaan has been developing more and more mobility but that isn’t the only thing that he’s getting better at! Over the last few days he’s been getting quite proficient with his mimicking! Back in August he began to copy noises that he would hear from us. This past Saturday morning we brought him into bed and he began to say ‘dada’! He said it over and over and repeated after us quite a few times. He doesn’t yet know what it means but recognizes it and it is now a sound he knows! Grandma Sheila was quite proud of herself when she found out because it was she that drilled him with ‘dada’ the day before. He has also begun to say ‘mama’ mixed in with a slew of other sounds. We’ve been trying to catch it on video but he seems to instinctively get quite when he sees the camera come out of its case.

Despite lingering headaches and coughs we are definitely feeling a lot better. Canaan is back to his old cheery self and much more fun to be around! Last night was our first full night of sleep in over a month. Praise the Lord! Thanks again to everyone who dropped us a note of encouragement or brought by meals!!
