40 Weeks

You can see that Canaan has been teething on her bed.

Our very good friends are moving this week out of state. We are going to miss our friends terribly. They gave Canaan these shoes for her very first birthday present. She decided they would be some good chewing...at least they are clean!

While in the basement with Daddy earlier this week, Canaan decided to start climbing the stairs. She climbed all the way to the top!

A lady I work with sent Canaan several of these pink rubber duckies. We only opened one, but it has been a BIG hit. Canaan has really enjoyed playing during bath time. We have also discovered her a couple of times during the day between the toilet and the bathtub playing with this duck.

A group of ladies from a retirement home made this blanket and hat for Canaan. They gave it to us weeks after she was born. This was the first time I had put the hat on her. Surprisingly, it still fits.

• Canaan can stand for quite a while without holding on to anything.
• If we are standing still enough, she will pull up on our legs.
• Every time she hears the GE commercial that begins with the little girl saying "ahh" to the doctor, she will stop what she's doing and listen to the entire commercial...even if she cannot see the television.
• She has been trying to pull up on other children. They generally have a concerned look on their faces.
• She has tried several times to stand up in the middle of the floor. She has not been successful at this.
