Samuel started babbling last night! I was on the phone with Heath because he was letting me know he would be home late because of a thick sheet of ice on his windshield, and Samuel said "Da-da-ga-ja," or something to that effect. Apparently, he was telling Heath to get home quickly and safely.

His babbling had been limited to one or two isolated syllables up to this point. But today, he has been stringing together many syllables, and providing a continual monologue about his adventures. It is delightful. I am listening closely and hoping to hear him say "ma-ma" soon.
