Happy Birthday!






So today is Christopher's first birthday and his appitite is growing almost as fast as he is. For lunch he easily polishes off an enire grilled cheese sandwich, milk, vegies and some fruit for dessert. Not even Emma can pull that off, well once in a while she can, but not often. He's getting into everything as fast as can be. He's learned to be really quick. He has to beat Emma if he wants something. These guys are best friends and worst enemies all at the same time. Their favorite thing to do right now is to slide down a carseat box that Emma fixed up as a slide by climbing on it and squishing it. Chris took a few steps all by himself on Sunday so I'm afraid it won't be long now before he's running full tilt! This first picture is of Chris yesterday, just after his first haircut. Do you see how long it was before? Yikes!



And of course ... the famous box slide

I'm so glad you share these stories and pictures. Otherwise they would seem almost strangers in how much they change over such a short time! Wow! Chris and Emma are both so much more grown up! I can hardly believe Chris can eat all that food! He looks like he'll be talking soon. There's a conversational look on his face. Happy Birthday to him!

Oh he already can talk!! He can say Momma, Daddy, Emma, No, Nana (banana), and he is starting to sign more, all done, and drink. He's starting to walk on his own and he is starting to sing along with some of the songs we sing. He is really cute, he thinks he is so clever!
