The word of the week--yellow :)

This week is a big speech week for us! As you can imagine we are SOOOOO excited!! We could literally listen to him talk all day and night. So the word of the week this week...yellow! Ethan will literally seek out things in the house that are yellow just so that he can say the word--it's very sweet. Plus, he has started to say "hi" to everyone which is adorable. We went to a birthday party last week and he sat down at the kids table and said "hi" to all the kids. They were all around 2-3ish. It was so CUTE! He says "hi" to his "boosh" bear when he wakes up and when I go in to get him in the morning he says..."Hiiiiiiiiiiiiii" very drawn out. New words this week...he can now clearly say "Nana, Nanny, Pop-pop, Pap" he also says a ton of other words like...up, down, out, off, on, etc. And he has started to put 2 words together like "up please" "more please" "mommy do" "i do" "i will" "i want" "mommy down" etc. This is a HUGE breakthrough for us! Phonetically--he is constantly amazing us and our speech therapist. He can pick out almost any letter in the alphabet and tell you it's phonetic sound. He can also say and recognize colors (he still has a little trouble saying green and orange though). This week we were getting into the car and he saw a dog. He said..."daaa...mommy's...pepa". I was shocked...my dog when I was little was named Pepper...he was telling me my dog's name. I told him that months ago when we were reading. It was adorable!! We're definitely getting there! yay!!! :)
