Talking like Crazy!

Ethan is talking GREAT quite suddenly lately! He's even saying 3 syllable words like cereal and piano! And has attempted saying Alethea! He says is "thee thee uh." But he's even starting to put words together, like "night night mama" or one time he said "bite, more, please" Yay!

I don't think I've ever actually blogged this… Ethan has a word for anything that he doesn't know what its called. I know Diella did that too, but I don't remember what hers was. His is "ai-ya." Mm hmm.

He's also singing a lot too! He sings the Hallelujah song (from Shrek) quite well!!! and my mom began to sang the alphabet for him, and he sang right along! Not perfectly of course, but if you pause at ANY point in the song, he knows what letter is next!!! Then last night at her house, we asked him to sing it for us, and even though not every letter is clear, he got through the whole song! We both sat there with huge eyes & mouths hanging open as he kept singing, and knew it all!!!

He's also trying to learn his colors. He will only call things blue or yellow, though, ha! My mom says sometimes he's gotten a few colors right the first time she "quizzes" him, but then the second time, he gets em all wrong, sigh*
Also, I don't remember how we suddenly found this out, but Ethan can all of a sudden count to Ten, all by himself!

I love when I hear him use words that I didn't even know he knew! Like one day he went to pick something up and he says through a grunt, "Heavy!" And another time when we were all headed upstairs, and he said, "hurry!" HAHA! Oh, and also when he wants one of us to do something after he has, he'll say "turn," which means 'your turn' like take your turn… how cute!

Surprisingly enough, he's pretty good an pronouncing the typically harder sounds. Well, he cannot do the K sound, but he's great at the R sound! Even in the middle of a word, like truck… well, of course he can pronounce the R in truck, but not the K at the end, hehehe…. he can also do the L in the middle of words, like in Blue. He's TRYing to master the F sound, like in frog. He's doin awesome!
