New words..and sounds

Ben is learning so many new words. (dump truck, firetruck, big truck) :)
He's also learning a lot more animal sounds. It's so fun to watch him try to talk. He tries so hard and we're all working hard to understand him. Lily taught him *yellow* and he says it all the time. He can easily pick out yellow crayons, etc., so we know he understands what yellow is, but he's still generalizing it. He uses it for all crayons and for popsicles. It's so cute. When he's done with dinner, all you have to do is walk toward the fridge and he'll shout LELLOW!!!!!!! (Even if you give him a blue popsicle) Lil also was trying to teach him the signs of colors today. She'd run and grab a red puzzle piece and then say RED, BEN and sign red to him. He thought it was hilarious.
Ben has a book of farm animal sounds. You see the animal and then lift the flap to read the sound it makes. He makes every sound now, my favorite being the red rooster. He says, "DOODLE DOOOOOOOOO!!"
I remember Lily having a rush of words at 18 months, but it is still amazing to me how many words he has learned in the last few days. Hooray for Ben! :)
Lily has been singing Baa Baa Black Sheep and puts her own spin on it. She sings it like this:
"Baa baa black sheep, have you any wool? Yes sir, yes sir, three bags full. One for my neighbor, one for my dad, one for my little boy and one for that lady."
Oh yes, the other day, I asked Lily what she wanted for lunch. Her reply, "what are my options?"
