Ethans new list

Ethan is doing so well!! He can now say Momma, Daddy, Grandpa, Grandma, wow, uh-oh, Ally (the dog), Lisa (speech therapist), Pizza, Soda, Puh (please), More, Up, Tractor, Bye Bye, banana, plus a lot of sound effects for animals and vehicles. He has been very eager to learn lately, even if he can't quite get the right sound out he still is trying and I'm very proud of him. He's also really gotten into singing and will attempt to sing along with songs on the tv or even the radio. He doesn't know the words so it ends up sounding like "duh.............duh........" and I think it is really cute. I often hear him singing twinkle twinkle little star which appears to be his favorite song right now, he will make noises to the tune of the song. He really likes to count things and will point to things and make sounds like he is trying to count. He will open his fingers one at a time on his own like he's counting them up to 5. He started counting his fingers all on his own out of nowhere, I just caught him doing it one day and was surprised. We've even been able to finally get him to put up two fingers to say he's two. Tonight he was watching Blues Clues, and they said "second clue" and the guy on the show held up two fingers and Ethan copied him- he's never done that before. He loves trains, and has discovered that I can look up pictures and videos of trains on the internet for him, and he thinks that's the coolest thing ever. I drove up into the driveway from work yesterday to find him on his tricycle and when I got out of the car I heard him clearly say "Momma". It made my day.
