I write this as Peter holds my phone to his ear and babbles away into it.

Peter has started to say a few words in the past few weeks. His first recognizable, consistent one is "Hello."  He generally only says it while holding something up to his ear like he is talking on the phone. We hear it pretty frequently coming from him.  This is probably due to the crowds of people that daily say hello to him both those he knows and those he doesn't. When we go out to the shops, we constantly hear "Hellooooo bebe" followed by the Cantonese phrase pronounced "Ho Dakeeee" which means "very cute."

Peter's second favourite thing to say is "hi dad." Again this is usually done while holding a phone or some object up to the ear. He loves his daddy very much and is sad when he has to go to work or even just leave the room.

He understands both hello and goodbye but chooses to wave goodbye rather than say anything.

In the past couple days he has started to say "yes."  This is pretty exciting that I guess he has heard "yes" more than "no" in his year of life.  Such a perfect child!

He is very good at pointing at an object of interest and making a darth vader breathing noise to indicate his interest. It is  funny to hear.
