Dougle has been telling Canaan that he didn't have much time left to learn a new trick before his Gran-Dad, Gran-Nan, Auntie Livi, and UD arrived back home from all their travels. I guess Canaan was feeling the pressure......Canaan is now crawling! It is slow and awkward, but he gets where he wants to go...as long as it isn't too far away! Yesterday, when he first crawled, and even today some, he would go a little ways and then look at us and just beam! He was so proud of himself. We were proud of him too! Tonight he crawled over to the electric outlet and tried to pull the sterio cord out of the wall. I think it is time for me to do what Jason Thornton did when his kids became mobile: crawl around the house on my hands and knees and look at the world from their view. (This is what I've been told that Jason did.) So, now the fun begins.
Canaan has also just got the hang of picking up small objects (off the floor, or cheerios) and putting them in his mouth. We were at Vanessa's adoption shower on Sunday and I put Canaan on the floor to play while I helped set up some things. Next time I looked over, he had a big piece of fuzz sticking out of his mouth! I think that this, coupled with the crawling, is going to change how much I can get done in a day! Life is so wonderful with a baby: never boring and always something new! I just love being a mommy!

Canaan's Latest Stats
August 1, 2007
Canaan Kirt McDougle
The doctor was impressed with Canaan's vocabulary. He said boys aren't usually so vocal at such a young age! I've always known he was smart! Canaan continues to say "uh-oh" and sometimes "a-boo" for peek-a-boo. He says "up" at times when he drops things that he wants back. He is also saying "ab" for bath every night. He loves his bathes!
Canaan also can clap. He loves the noise he can make with his hands. He also gives kisses. He gives people kisses sometimes, but more willingly will kiss his book with family pictures in it. He opens his mouth wide and leans in! Canaan has also started mimicking us when we laugh. Dougle and I will be talking with each other, laughing about something and Canaan will join in laughing too. It is so adorable.
Canaan still isn't crawling, but is extremely close. He wants to crawl so much; he gets on his hands and knees and tries, but then lands on his belly. He can scoot backward on his belly, but usually this just makes him more frustrated as he gets farther and farther from the toy he so desperately wants. Canaan also wants to walk. He loves holding onto our hands and strolling around. He even thinks he can do it on his own sometimes and lets go of our hands. Good thing Mommy and Daddy have quick reflexes to catch him before he crashes to the floor. He also runs around in his walker, around the kitchen and dining room area. Being mobile is just a crawl or step away....
