One day about a week ago Ethan repeated a word I had said (I can't remember what the word was) and I thought "No one would believe me." Then John heard him say "Cheerios" but didn't tell me because he wasn't sure. Then last Wednesday morning I was making juice and telling Ethan about the juice and he said "juice" a few times in a row. I thought "Wow, he's really repeating my words! But, no one would believe me if I told them."
Ethan had a doctor's appointment the same day for his 9 month checkup. While waiting for the doctor Joshua was playing with a puzzle and complaining that Ethan was messing up his puzzle. When the doctor came in, Ethan said "puzzle" and his doctor heard it and said, "He just said puzzle! Did you hear it?" She couldn't get over it. I told her that he's been repeating my words sometimes and that I hadn't said anything to anyone because I didn't think they'd believe me. She said, "Well, I believe you and I think it's going to be very interesting to see where he goes with this." She said she can tell by his babbling that he is very advanced in language-- even more than my other advanced children were at his age. Isn't that cool?
So, here is Ethan saying "Joshua" several times in a row. It is so cute and makes Joshua just laugh and laugh! He said it even more times but I edited the video to make it shorter. I'll try to catch some more words as he says them but he usually quits talking once he sees the camera. He is too interested in the camera to concentrate on anything else!
