So Blake's speech has been his biggest challenge lately. Then just when I think it will never come it improves a little.

He started saying "cold" the other day; come to find out they had been learning about hot and cold in school and he took what he learned and started using it at home.

As if that isn't exciting enough, the other day I asked him what he did at school like I always do. He never answers me, but when I asked him he started imitating animals. When I read his What We Did Today Paper, sure enough it said they went over all the zoo phonics animals and the noises they make.

Then today, today was the biggie. He picked up Alli's bottle, brought it to me and said "here your baba." HERE YOUR BABA?!?! It came out more like "he ya baba" but it was perfectly clear what he said. He says words here and there but he has never put a 3 word sentence together. I've always had to prompt him to repeat a sentence. That is amazing and such a big deal. I am so excited and am hopeful his language development will continue to improve.

Hope you had a happy and blessed Easter--I know ours was!
