Almost every day is a special day in the life of a nine month old! For example, during one of Canaan's recent baths, she discovered that the water fall coming from the wall is NOT easily attainable. Despite her best efforts, Canaan simply could not grab onto the tube of water and put it into her mouth for the "taste-test." It was a special day for her to realize that while we may try try again to preform the impossible (such as holding onto the mysterious tube of water), at the end of the bath (and the end of the day), her toy fish are still floating around, her mom and dad are still laughing at her, the water is still warm, and life is still good. THAT'S worth a nice, loud squeal.
Another special day Canaan recently discovered was St. Patrick's Day. The day that she had to wear two large and in charge green bows. While her outfit didn't match her bow (which is a day that deserves special recognition itself), it was still a magical day--looking for that sneaky leprechaun who left her a "Lil' Bit O' Irish" t-shirt from the dollar spot at Target on the front porch.

I thought I saw something out there.
Another special day happened a few weeks ago at Berry College with Uncle Michael and Aunt Amy Williams. The day that Canaan kicked the sippy cup to the bucket and began relaying on a styrofoam cup for all her hydration needs.
An extremely special day was when we dedicated Canaan to the Lord. We wanted to follow the example set by Hannah in the book of the Bible, 1 Samuel 1, where she dedicated her son Samuel to the Lord's service. We felt like God has blessed us with Canaan so she can be a blessing to others. In so doing, we wanted to publicly dedicate her life to God so He can bless others through her. On February 22, before our friends and family, we "took her and presented her before the Lord." (1 Samuel 1:22).
The gown actually belonged to Canaan's great-great grandmother! It was worn by each generation, including me--so it was a doubly special day!!
And the final special day that will be included in this blog, is the day that Canaan got WAY cuter! Today!!

Mo, she is so sweet...what a little doll! I hope we can get together soon and catch up!
I can't believe your family has kept that gown all these years. That is incredible that Canaan now gets to pass it down!
And the water fall was too cute...
Love you all.
Marin is learning Canaan's name. She hasn't said it fully yet, but maybe by the time she see's you guys she'll be able to say it.
What a beauty! Wish we could have been there. Can't WAIT for ya'll to come visit! So exciting!
