Simon's 5th word is hot. I think he was saying it and understanding it right around the same time that he started saying hat. Definitely by late last week he had hot for sure, but possibly a few days before. The problem is that they sound an awful lot alike and he likes to repeat his words as practice and that helps us know if he really has a word.
This weekend I gave him a warmed up pancake and he looked at it and said hot. I said yes and then he didn't touch it until I gave him the ok to start eating. Shows definite understanding.
Also, in the back the bricks will get hot in the afternoon. On Sunday the 5th we practiced the word hot quite a bit and when he ignored the warning would walk out on to the bricks and give his sad face and start to cry because they were too hot for his little bare feet (obviously he was only on them for a second, but they were really hot). This past weekend when Alan was playing outside with Simon, Simon walked up to the edge of the grass and looked at the bricks and Alan and said hot. It was cloudy, so Alan said he could go ahead. When the little guy got onto the bricks and didn't hurt his feet he laughed with joy - no ouchy! So adorable.
