Dada

Jonathan's new favorite "word" is Dada. Actually it comes out more like "adadadadada". We figure it's close enough, though, so we're encouraging it. :) Maybe he'll figure out the connection if every time he says it I tell him "yes, Daddy is at work" or "yes, we're on our way to pick up Daddy!"

It is quite fun to hear the change in Jonathan's vocal sounds. They used to just be mostly vowels and cooing, and now we can really hear the very early beginnings of what will become real words. He has some consonants pretty clearly now, and he "talks" quite purposefully and quite often.
