15 Weeks & Labor Day Weekend


Canaan met some more friends over the weekend. Wade and Michelle are the first couple friends that Matthew and I made after we got married. We have known them about 6 years and love them dearly. We had a fantastic weekend with them! We enjoyed hanging around the house, eating, seeing a local attraction, and fellowshipping with them. We have missed them and really loved spending time with them over the weekend. Canaan was fascinated by Michelle, and anytime we were in the car she was watching Michelle (as evidenced in the photo below).
  • Canaan is starting to touch her toys and hold them in her hands. She tries to put them in her mouth but is not very successful with that part yet.
  • When I get home in the evenings, I find myself asking Matthew this question a lot, "Has she been doing this?" He works with her a lot during the day to teach her things. She's a good learner up to this point.
  • Canaan used to take any pacifier. Now she generally turns them away and will suck on her thumb if she desires to suck on something. She also will put 1 to 4 fingers in her mouth to chew or suck on.
  • She still has quite the sensitive tummy. I am still on the elimination diet, but there are days that she has some tummy issues.
  • Canaan plays with her tongue a lot. She could spend hours (a bit of an exaggeration) just sticking her tongue out and then putting it back in her mouth. We have no idea what she's doing.
  • I mentioned this earlier, but she laughed for the first time last week. We haven't gotten her to do it again yet. She has come close though.
  • Canaan enjoys the toys hanging over her bouncy seat and play gym. She is more interested in them than she has been.
  • She now fits comfortably in 3 to 6 month footed pajamas.
  • She sleeps in the "surrender" position with her hands up by her head.

Hey Mindy!

I found your blog on Matthew's facebook. Samuel has that same hat (only with a blue stripe). You gotta love Target! I love how her little ear is folded down in that last pic. So sweet!
