Riley has started using sign language. He has been doing the sign for 'milk' for a while now. He was using it for all food including when he wanted 'more' of something at the table. Today he figured out how to do the actual sign for 'more'.
I love how excited both Riley and Kiera were at these first breakthroughs in communication. I will never forget the look on their faces as the realized that they could ask for something and I could understand them. Here he was getting excited and doing the sign up high.
He's a pretty happy guy. He is eating a lot finger food these days and loving feeding himself. He really likes watermelon and today we shared a fresh peach. (and, no this isn't one of the new signs we're working on!) If you enlarge the photo, you can see Riley's first teeth coming in.
