First Words

Zander has always been a very noisy baby with a lot to say and recently he has begun to say some words. He is now saying "mama" and "dada" pretty consistently and generally appropriately to greet us or to get our attention. He also loves to throw things to the floor and say "uh oh." All of these are pretty typical for babies to say so we didn't really consider them true words. We are giving that credit to "choo choo" as he began imitating that in the bathtub while playing with his favorite bath tub toy, his choo choo train. Then one day last week, Zander crawled up the stairs, went into his bathroom, found his train and turned around and looked at Zeb and said "choo choo" while proudly holding up his train!! We're looking forward to hearing what else this crazy kid has been trying to tell us over the last year!
