Carter is probably our quietest child. Not that he can't hold his own when screaming along side his sisters, he can scream with the best of them. However, in terms of communicating he seems to get his point across with just a point and a grunt. Despite my consistent attempts to get to at the very least sign a word - he refuses, that is until Christmas. The day after Christmas (known as Boxing Day to some) he started asking "wuts dis?" to EVERYTHING!!! He wpuld point at everything his little eyes could see and ask that same question over and over. When he would be given an answer his reply was usually "oooooohhh" or "WOW" (said is a little boy Tim the toolman gruff).
Today he decided to use the word "NO". I knew at some point his talking was inevitable. I also know from having two girls that once they start there is no stopping them. I was really not in a hurry for Carter to use words, signs would have been great though. For a compliant little guy he got the hang of NO quickly.
Little man was snacking on a banana, he decided to deposit the peel on the dining room floor instead of the trash can. Normally, I could have asked him to pick it up and place it in the trash to which he would immediately respond "OH" and do as he was asked. Not the case, today he looked at it, told me "NO" (while shaking head left to right to reinforce answer) and turned and walked away. My sweet little boy has now crossed into rebellious territory...tell me it isn't so!
Some other words he has now decide to speak are "Oh No", "Uh Oh", Ohhh WOW", dider (sister), just to name a few.

He also likes to say "Car" and "oooo fas" (fas=fast) as they go flying over our wood floors. "Ow" is popular when one of his diders bounces a ball off his head.
That is all for now. Just needed to get this posted before the days flew by and I found myself trying to remember when it was he was saying these words. Pictures have not been the issue as we have added children - keeping track of milestones is what has slipped by. :(
Enjoy the days,
Kim
