The First Word




It's official. I've lost. Nathan and I have been "training" Caden to say Mama and Dada in hopes that our name would be said before the other. Last Monday Nathan called me after I got off of work to make the big announcement that Caden had said "Dada" a few times. Of course I said I didn't believe him. But then when I got home, Caden started babbling away. He had definetly discovered the "d" sound and was on a roll. Then sure enough, "Dada." The two syllables together and separate from any other sounds. He repeated it several other times. Nathan ran victory laps around the house gloating while Hailey chased him. It was quite a show. Of course I was pouting in defeat.

Then Nathan says,"Oh, by the way. Caden rolled over from back to tummy today." I couldn't believe I missed another first! Caden's been rolling over from tummy to back for quite some time. He had been so close to rolling over the opposite way for about a week. He finally made it!

It was a big day at our house!
