Wow, that is great!! ...Oh Ria that is so exciting! Wow, that is great!! We are not as far along as you but Evan has many words that he says and we know what he is conveying as long as we are there with him and we have the surrounding "context" to figure it out. He really understands everything we say which we thought he did, but it's cool to see him demonstrate it in various ways.Kathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02526158429213115406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4274008603909996948.post-35370468054767279942011-04-07T20:48:54.263-05:002011-04-07T20:48:54.263-05:00oh my gosh that is wonderful!

Gabriel is up to 8 words that we know he knows what they mean when he uses them. It is so exciting to watch him use them instead of grunting and pointing. Gabriel uses signs but he has a hard time with his fingers and often we dont understand what he is trying to say because many of the signs are the same coming from him.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01203395882685606239noreply@blogger.com
