Oh how Christian makes us smile! He is so much fun! He adds more words to his vocabulary daily. He is so affectionate, always giving hugs and kisses before he goes off to bed. He often crawls down the hall to his room, barking like a puppy. He has to put many toys in his bed at night and we have been leaving the light on for him so he can "read". Cameron often gets him and all his toys out of bed in the morning and they walk down the hall together. Too cute! He loves to jump and if he's jumping off a chair, you'd better be there to catch him. He has a very very sweet tooth. His ears perk right up at the word treat and he doesn't like to be told one more or last one. He especially loves lollipops. He calls them pops. Charity was talking about pop culture and Christian says, "pop, pop!" wanting a lollipop. He follows right along with his brother and sister, copying their every move. He loves to look at pictures of Jesus and will shout, "Jeez, Jeez". He loves to be picked up by his ankles, hung upside down and swung back and forth. We call it "tick tock". He will lay down on the floor, put his legs in the air and say, "tock, tock." When we are done, he will put his little finger really close to his mouth and say, "mo" (more), meaning one more time. We were reading a book that said, tick tock tick tock; Christian laid down on his back and said "tock, tock". He also loves to tell a knock, knock jokes. His best joke goes:
Knock knock
Who's there?
Interrupting cow
Interrupt...
Moo
Christian's version is knock knock, who's there? Moo!
He loves to be on the move! If the word go is used, he puts his arms in the air and says, "go, go" and then "shoe, shoe". And whatever he is playing with at the time has to go with him. He still wants to be on my lap (standing, sitting or turning in circles) during meals, driving me absolutely crazy. And he does not cooperate when he has to have his diaper changed. But other than that, he is for the most part a delight!
