New phrases and other things

Seth has begun saying a few new phrases lately. Won't be long and he will be talking in complete sentences! Here are a few of his phrases (i'm sure i have forgotten a few):
--"i don't like this" or "i like this"
--"hold this"...he says this when he wants me to hold something that he no longer wants to hold, like a sippy cup.
--"i watch this"...he says this when he looks through his DVD book and finds something he wants to watch.
--"help me"
--"Where mama/dada go?"
--"sethie want juice/milk" and "mama get milk/juice"
--"i be back"...he says this when he asks for something and i tell him i will go get it and will be right back.
--"i get it"...he says this when he drops something
--"kitty eat it"...he says this when he drops food on the floor because he knows the cat will eat it.

A few other things he does lately is he is labeling everything as Mama's or Dada's or Sethie's. (i love when he calls himself Sethie). We even have assigned seats at the dinner table, and when he knows he is not supposed to touch something he says "it's mama's/dadda's". He also suprised me the other day and named 3 shapes and put them in the correct hole on the shape sorter. He was able to identify a circle, square and triangle and even said their correct names. He also has gotten better at identifying colors. He still doesn't always get them correct, but at least not everything is "lellow" anymore. He now knows red, yellow, blue, green and orange. Another fun thing he is learning about is what has tails and what doesn't. He was very fascinated with all of his stuffed animals' tails and he kept trying to look behind him to see if he too had a tail. Now when we ask him if he or mama or dada has a tail, he says "NO", but ask him if a monkey, tiger or elephant has a tell and he excitedly says "YES!". He is also an excellent little helper. He likes to help me vaccuum and sweep, and the other night he got to help mom and dad cook! He really enjoyed scrambling an egg. I just love this stage. So much is happening and he is so eager to learn new things.
