Things I Do Not Want to Forget

-Cannon is currently obsessed with Elmo and Yo Gabba Gabba. He picks up the remote and runs to the television and says "Elmo" or "GabGabGabGabGabGabGab" depending on which television he is near (he only watches Elmo upstairs, Yo Gabba downstairs).



-He swaddles Elmo and carries him around the house, carefully placing him in a chair and then moments later flings Elmo across the room. He loves to point out Elmo, Big Bir and Cookie in his books.



-He says "Amen" after we pray.



-Tonight he made an airplane from Legos and was swirling it through the air saying "air pla".



-Cannon is also obsessed with his sandbox that his Poppy made him. He would spend every waking moment in it if he could.



-He no longer says, "Nonononono", he now says "No!" with passion and determination.



-He has become shy. When strangers start talking to him he ducks his little head and looks away.



-He loves "WaaWaa" aka water. He loves filling containers and emptying them especially on me.



-He can now repeat every word you ask him to, as long as he is willing. Willing is the key word.



- He can say his ABC's. Okay, not really but he does say "Aaa, Bay, Aaa, Bay" over and over. It is start!



-He has become quite the helper. When something spills, I can give him a towel and he will clean it up. He sweeps every time I do. This week he also helped me dust.



-He feeds the cats every morning. He is getting really good at filling the bowls and when he misses he now picks up the cat food and puts it in the dish.



-He is obsessed with drums and this African drum music that I have for him. He turns it on every chance he gets. (His Auntie Cheryl hates this music but Auntie Chelle and I love it).



-He asks for his friend Anna everyday.



-He now says, "Me", constantly.



-Every time we drive by Chic-Fil-A or McDonalds he starts signing slide and saying "sly, sly".

-He can say almost anything you ask him to. Brett and I were counting and he says well over 25 words, unprompted.
