Colors

One thing that we have been talking about a lot around here is colors. Believe it or not, Eli already has a favorite color. He loves the color green and has been able to pick it out for a while now. He talks frequently about his green ball, green peas, green beans, and the green grass. :) He will also say blue (most often in reference to the sky, saying "blue sky!") and purple. He will kind of say yellow and others if you say it right before him, but for the most part he just says those three as of now. He can identify a bunch of colors when I ask him. Just now, Eli was playing with the toy you see in the pics below. I asked him to find each of the colors, which include blue, green, yellow, orange, red, and purple, and he was able to push down the lever for every one the first time and got them all right! I guess it is settled then...this kid is a genius. :)

*Update:  After I wrote the above post, I thought that a few videos of him talking would be a good addition.  Yesterday, we were playing outside in the front yard (one of Eli's favorite things to do right now) and he was just talking away to me.  I recorded a few little segments of this.  He is definitely still talking like a toddler where Mommy understands better than anyone else, but hopefully you can follow what he is saying.  This is such a fun stage and he continually impresses me with how much he knows!
