Increasing his vocabulary

I swear Ethan learns a new word every day lately! Some of his newest...

"No" - Honestly, he really seems to know the difference between "yeah" and "no" when you ask him questions! When he says no to us, I try to at least reinforce "no, thank you".

"Please" - When he whines for something, I usually tell him to say, "please, mama" and it sounds like he says "me mommy". Manners, manners, manners - this boy will have good manners. :)

"Uh-Oh" - what he says when something drops to the floor (like his fork at dinner). Funny that today he was holding a cracker and said "uh oh" before he dropped it - but as soon as he said the words, he then dropped the cracker. So, he was warning us that he was about to drop it! Cracks me up!

"Hot" - We taught him while Dave was at the stove

"Hug" - he gave us several hugs today on command and said the word. I love little cuddles!

He also has reportedly try to say Lola and Jaden at Lauren's house. :)

Other updates...he absolutely LOVES to have books read to him lately! He'll grab a book and shove it towards your direction, indicating - READ TO ME!! I usually ask him if he wants to sit on Mama's lap and he squeals and says "yeah". So cute!

He's warming up to the tree these days. He was a bit afraid of it at first, but now he'll go touch it and then squeal as if he just did something so exciting.
