It has been literally forever since I had the chance to sit down and update everyone on Christopher’s activities… after our vacation, things got a little bit out of control, we all came down with a bad cold, sinus infection and all that stuff… Christopher had a cough for about 3 weeks, fever for a couple of days and he just wasn’t himself. That required extra attention from his sick Mommy… and once we thought we were done with that, Daddy got sick… 
It seems we are done with that, at least it was that way until yesterday when Christopher started having a runny nose… :S I keep telling myself it is ok and that there is no point on trying to find the “origin” of this cold, but it is so hard to see him having a hard time falling asleep or playing while dripping snot on everything…
One of the big news is that we are going to Lima; we will be leaving mid January and coming back at the beginning of February… I couldn’t be more excited to see my parents again and to be able to spend time with Grandma… Christopher has grown so much since they last saw him, they all will be amazed! Especially with the way he talks… he is like a little parrot now, he talks, asks questions, demands things and comes up with the most amazing ways to verbalize his feelings and opinions…
Just yesterday night, I was in the bedroom and he came in asking “Mom, where did my “tool” go?”… I honestly thought he was saying “tools”, (with the tens of tools he has, it seemed hard to believe that he couldn’t find one) well, I told him to look for some in the living room with the rest of his toys… he started getting frustrated and kept saying “tool mommy, tool”… and I kept saying, “go look in the living room”… then he found a box and said “look mom” and stepped up on the box, stretched his hands up and said “see? Go high up, tool”… then I got it!!! He was saying “stool”… I was amazed by how he thought of the way to tell me what he needed… I couldn’t help it; I started tearing up by seeing how much he has grown!!
