Vocabulary Explosion

Just in the last month Colby's vocabulary has probably quadrupled. He has been saying lots of words for awhile but not speaking in sentences and not really repeating everything he heard yet. Since December he has learned so much. He is usually many 3 word phrases/sentences. He says "I see you", "I stink" "I want some" "Excuse Me" "Ohh cool" "I sowwy". He is also using the I/You thing correctly...if you say to him you stink...he will go I stink which I thought was pretty good for a 2 year old to figure out pronouns.
He is also using so many words now to tell us what he wants. He's not doing nearly as much pointing/whining as a few months ago. Now he can tell us if he wants juice, water, milk, cereal, cake, cookies, fruit, turkey, mac/cheese, and many more. He names most of his food now.
He also repeats a lot of what we say too so you really have to watch. His favorite is when he drops something he will say "shoot"!
It is really fun now that he is talking and can make more sense now. He comes around the house yelling MAAA and DADDDYYY...he also now calls Allie and Bailey by their names.
He has also recently learned to count to 10. He doesn't usually do all the numbers at once yet but he will do one two, five, six, and nine , ten a lot. He knows most of his letters and loves to play with anything with letters and pretend to spell. I haven't worked with him with writing them yet I figure that comes more around 3ish.
Its amazing how much they learn and so quickly. I will do another post in a few days about what all he is doing since he will turn 2 1/2 in about a week!
