Forgot to mention in my summer catch-up, probably the most exciting part of our summer so far. Waylon has started spontaneously saying our names.
AMAZING.
Anytime you walk in the room, anytime he wants your attention, anytime he thinks it will cause you to smile and tackle him and smother him with love, his eyes get big and he yells
"THERE'S MOMMY!"
Trav usually responds to the "THERE'S DADDY!" with "That's right! I'm Daddy!" So Waylon echoes, "THAT'S RIGHT! I'M DADDY!"
Sure, it's a little repetitious, but I'll take it.
I'll never forget sneaking my head around the corner of his room to hear the first time Miss Jennifer (a.k.a. Most-Amazing-Speech-Path-Ever) got Waylon to repeat sounds ("Ba Ba Ba"). I'll never forget calling Trav at work months later and putting it on speaker phone while Miss Jennifer coaxed the words "Mommy" and "Daddy" from Waylon's amazing little brain.
And I've written this new oh-so-amazing milestone in the baby book, although I doubt this is something that I will ever forget.
Just melts my heart.
