We’ve determined that Eli has spoken his first word! His first word was “dada”. I am extremely happy that despite all of the pain he’s caused my wife (many, many sleepless nights), he decided that “dada” was the best first word he could think of.

We were on the fence for a little while about it actually being a word since “dada” sounds like so many things that baby’s naturally say. He’s been saying it non-stop lately so it’s official, he loves me more! I tried to get him to say mama but he wanted no part of that! He was persistent in wanting dada to be his first word. Who am I to stop him?

In other Eli news, Meri and I are taking him to his ear tube pre-op appointment this afternoon. His “surgery” is scheduled for Feb 10th.  From what I’ve read and been told, recovery time is about an hour after the procedure. We are both very excited about the possibility of him beginning to sleep through the night again. He did for a while, but then the ear aches/pains/infections started.
