Breakthrough!

Evan is finally signing!!!!! It's taken him forever but he's doing it!!! We started signing with him when he was around 4 or 5 months old. He probably understands about 13 signs but he never tried to sign them himself. We have been able to sign words without saying them and he knows what we're saying. That's the only way to know if he's truly getting it or not. It started around Christmas with him signing 'all done' and then just recently he started signing 'more'. Last week I taught him the sign for dog and he picked it up quick. Tonight, Eric signed bath without saying the word and Evan signed back and kept signing it. While the tub was filling up, Evan was signing bath. This is huge!!! I think he is finally making the connection! Hooray!!! We are so proud of him!!
