Posting on her Instagram page, Amanda shared an emotional clip of Elvis pointing at a picture of his father and saying "Dada right there".

In the video, the tot reaches for the picture light which is covered in images of his dad and gives it a kiss.

Alongside the video, Amanda wrote: "[Elvis] hasnt seen Nick since March 30th.

"The fact that he still knows who his Dada is, point to him and give him a kiss to me is amazing."

Earlier this week, Amanda revealed on social media that her and Elvis are moving into the house in LA she had purchased with her late husband.

Nick tragically caught coronavirus when he was packing up his home in New York - and was originally misdiagnosed with pneumonia when he returned to Los Angeles.

Doctors were not onlyforced to amputate Nick's right leg as a result of blood clots, but the Broadway star also had to undergo stem cell treatment to strengthen his lungs.

But on July 5, 2020Nick sadly passed away after 91 days in hospital.

Explaining how she was putting on a "brave face" for her son, Amanda wrote: "Im not expecting this to be easy, in fact I think it will be very hard, but Im going into it knowing I need to be strong.

"I have to find my new normal, at least whatever that is for Elvis and I right now. I know Nick will be with us.

"He wanted to live in this house more than anything so Ill put lots of family photos up and make sure his presence is with us."

Amanda's video of Elvis' first words has been viewed by over 296,000 users on Instagram - and it left fans in tears.

"Beautiful moment," one replied. "Thank you for sharing with us."

Another added: "My heart is happy and sad at the same time."

"How precious," a third wrote. "He clearly remembers his Dadda."

For more real life stories, this mum's pregnancy made her so sick she felt suicidal and asked for an abortion.

And this mum thought her daughter would be safe at nursery but an accident almost blinded her & she needed five-hour eye surgery.

Plus this woman grew up thinking her mum tried to kill her in a fire which left her with horrific scars but she wont lie to my son about the past.
