We Have a Roller....

Nathan has been rolling over in his crib for months but just recently he has started to do this during playtime. Nana B witnessed it a few days ago as did we but as of today, we think he has finally masterd this trick. Watch out crawling....here we come.

Nathan Dancing

Hi Dada!

Yesterday, on Easter Sunday morning, after Nathan's morning nap, Ben went in to get him. Nathan was awake in his crib, talking to himself, facing the wall when Ben walked in. Ben had the video camera with him, and started filming to see what Nathan would do when he saw him.

Nathan turned his head and saw Ben. He flipped over so he could look at him better, and then very quietly said "Hi Dada!" Ben got it on the video, and we all saw it later. It couldn't have been clearer or more deliberate. A little boy greeting his dad. Nothing special.

Except it was Nathan's first deliberately correct utterance!

He has been saying "hi" in a breathy little voice for a while, and dadadadada, mamamama, nananana and other sounds are all part of his babbling every day. He says "Ummm" when we feed him. We have not been able to get him to say any of them on command, and he is not usually paying attention to people when he says them. So this is monumental! And Ben got it on video! How cool is that?
