Yellow and Other Observations

Yellow is Evan's first color that he knows how to say and identify. It is amazing because he really understands that everything has a color but can't quite yet say which color it is. So-we start most conversations with him pointing to an object and saying, "Yellow?". He also understands counting and will point to multiple object and make a sound as he points to each object. His capacity for learning and understanding amazes me everyday.

This week I told Evan that he looked so nice and he immediately looked down at his outfit and then looked up at me with a huge grin. I was amazed that he understood what I was referring to and he appreciated the compliment!

Each day I hear the sounds that Evan makes and think how much I loves those sounds. I know one day soon they will disappear as he takes on speaking real words and sentences. Right now he often says "NaNaNa na'..."Oynyah"or "En-nah. I am going to miss thes sounds so much. He loves to make actual sound effects instead of words. He makes a splash sound instead of trying to say "water". We walk past the ocean or a fountain and it is "pssshh".

So much happens each day and I think to myself that I really need to add "that" to the blog and then life happens and it all gets away from me. Time is going so fast. I feel so lucky to be able to stay home with my little boy and watch him grow. He grows and grows and grows...I try each day as it comes and try to stay in the present with him. Weeks go by like days and months go by like weeks. I know I will look back at this time with such fun-filled memories of our days spent together.
