Walking and talking

I can't believe how many new things a little 10 month old can learn in one week. Santi stood up for the first time without holding on to anything and took his first steps all within a few days. Now just a week later he can walk all the way across the room. Of course crawling is much fast and easier, so that is still the preferred method, but I don't see it lasting much longer.

On top of walking Santi is now starting to talk more. Not only does he babble and copy everything we say, but he can for sure say a few words.

Mama

Dada (which is very weird to us. Nolan is going to be Papi, daddy is Spanish. We have never called him dada, but Santi calls him dada ALL the time.)

Nana (my mom)

Dog (he LOVES my parents dog)

Dandad (granddad, my dad)

Daga (agua)

No (not my favorite, but I guess he's got to learn it all)

Such a happy boy!
What joy this little man has brought into our lives in only a few short months! I can't wait to see him turn into the godly young man that he will hopefully be one day! One of the ways we hope to teach him about Christ is through the AMAZING catechism songs that Diana Batarseh wrote and recorded. I learned about the songs through Mustard Seed when I worked there. I always looked forward to teaching my own children. Just recently Diana finished the 3 cd project. Soooo, for Santi's birthday we ordered him a copy! I cant wait to get them and sing them with him. Now I just have to see if I can remember any of the sign language that goes with it!
