Bragging about my Boy

Taking a break from running blogging to brag about my incredible son...

At 19 months old, this is what he's accomplished already:

* Has a very active vocabulary of at least 50-75 words. Can say and understand several phrases
* Knows and can point out several colors, including yellow, red, blue, purple, green, black, and white.
* Knows 2/3 of the alphabet letters; can recite what they are when pointed out to him. Also actively seeks letters his surroundings and points them out, such as on signs and license plates.
* Knows numbers 1-10. Somewhat knows the order, though he can't count from 1-10 he knows that 3 comes after 2, 4 comes after 3, etc.
* Knows most of his shapes-- circle, square, triangle, heart, star
* He remembers and can sing tunes from shows he likes. Knows the tune of the "clean up" song from Barney, for example. Also knows the theme song from Imagination Movers.

Those are the big things. There's much more he knows and can do, but these are the ones that really stuck out at me as advanced for his age. As we always say, he's sooooooo smart!
