Micah's vocabulary has been exploding as of late, and it's really quite fun to be a part of! It is challenging some days, however, to figure out what he's trying to say - but what joy to watch this little boy light up once we understand.
The last week or so we've really been focusing on colors, and wow, Micah's like a sponge! Just today we were driving in the car and all of a sudden I hear, "el-low!" from the back. Sure enough, coming towards us was a bright yellow car in the midst of silvers and blacks. It was such a proud moment for me, watching my boy show off his learning. He's also really mastered blue, orange and is close behind with green and red.
Some more of his favorites right now include saying all of our friends kids names, family (even Josh, my sister's boyfriend, has made some vocabulary appearances), lots and lots of different animals, elmo, monk, yak, and saying "tchew" (two) of whatever there are two of. He's really good at understanding the meaning of two, but lacks it by holding up his one finger and saying two. Or holding up his one finger and saying "one more" over and over and over...doesn't quite get that meaning yet, but in time:)
I'm loving this parenting thing, and can't believe we're getting close to bringing another little one into our family. Micah has also taken to hugging my crazily growing belly and saying, "love you brother" or "hi baby brother". I'm interested to see how he'll respond to his baby brother actually making his appearance, but right now it's sweet to try and figure out what he understands and watch his little mind process what's to come.
