Christian is 19 Months (tomorrow)

Sitting in his "new" big boy chair on the back patio:

Gahh! Growing bigger by the day. This week C had his very belated 18-month appointment. He weighed 26 pounds, and was 32.5 inches tall. Putting him in the 50th percentile for both weight and height for children his age. This also means no more vaccinations until he is four! Woot!

He is also talking so much more these days. His current list of words are:

• Mama


• Dada


• Nigh Nigh (Night Night)


• Ba Buh (Bye Bye)


• Baul (Ball)


• Hi-ya (Hi)


• Hat


• Hot


• Eat

It's really a fun age since he picks up on so much and understands more than we know even if he can't always express it himself (of course, this is why the pre-verbal stage is so difficult at times too.) Christian will often try to repeat things that we say and we really get a kick out of him saying words (and sounds) in his sweet little boy voice...sometimes very LOUD boy voice. :o)

Christian has quite the arm. He loves to throw (hopefully a ball) and is gaining quite some distance and speed when he does so. He loves balls right now!

We love you little buddy!(Above) At the Riverbanks Zoo this past week. (Below) Playing at the playground at Swan Lake.
