Christopher is a chatty boy

Christopher is developing a bit of speech.

I’ve noticed him now saying “Yeah” when I ask if he wants something like “Do you want a drink of water?”.  He also shakes his head when he *doesn’t* want something.  So cute seeing a little 13 month old being so decisive.  His mimicry is happening, trying to copy when I said dummy by saying duh, duh.

He’s started some tantrums too.  Had a dozy the other night and it took him ages to chill out.  A biscuit helped and then back to bed for some much needed sleep.  He has even more teeth coming in (getting 5th and 6th top teeth now, and has 4 on bottom gum) so perhaps they’ve been paining him.

Big brother Bevan has been doing great with his talking too.  His speech therapist is very happy with him and I hear good things from his Preschool too.  He’s been enthusiastically playing a game with me called “shopping list” that I got from the toy library and that involves a lot of speech for shopping items and turn-taking pleasantry.
