All About Christopher

Christopher has been talking a lot lately and I wanted to write down his words before the list got to be too long. Anyway, this post is mostly for my own information, since I know it’s kind of boring to read a huge list of words a 16 month old can say. In case you do read it “iP” stands for “in Portuguese.” I know I probably missed some words, so I’ll add them on as I remember. I tried to keep it to just words, not sounds (like uh-oh, yay …). He repeats a lot of words we say, but I tried to write only the words he uses consistently.

Refuses to say animal names, but can make the sounds. Animal sounds: meow, woof, roar, quack, baa, u-u-a-a (monkey), uuuh (elephant – accompanied by hand motion for the trunk).
On a not so related note, I took some pictures of the boys last night as they were ready for bed. They turned out kind of goofy, but since I haven’t posted pictures of them lately, here are a few.

Christopher was really happy when he saw me get the camera!!

Christopher took this picture of Drew and I think he did pretty good, even getting the baby smiling
