Putting it together...

I think Liam is starting to really put certain things together with his speech...some of the concepts are starting to gel in his head. He's starting to complete his sentences more often. Last week we were driving down the road and he saw an Applebee's sign. They have a big red apple on them. Liam saw it and said, "Its an apple, Papa!". I didn't see it at first and it took me a second to realize he was talking about the apple on the sign. "Yes, a big red apple." I replied. "A big read apple, Papa." He said. He hadn't done this around me before...which is to say he's never pointed at a random object and call it exactly what it is without being told what it was and prompted to say what it was. At night when I'm putting him down I lay him on the bed and if I go to do something before lying down with him he tells me, "Come sit on the bed, Papa." and he pats or smooths down my spot on the bed with is hand. There are, of course, other things that I can't think of right now but in short it does seem like he's starting to really "get" it.
