Toddlers must imitate words for a while before they begin to use those words spontaneously. Because he also has the receptive language issues, even though he is following simple directions in context, he is having difficulty on some level linking meanings with words (or else he wouldn't have the receptive language dx too) and you'll need to be repetitive and persistent to help him consistently understand so that he can consistently imitate and then finally begin to use words on his own. It’s sometimes a long process, but it's very good that he's already using imitative words and verbal play with singing and babbling.
