Signing

If anyone has any doubts about Eli keeping up with his sister in the ” smarts” department, you can put them to rest. The other day we were eating breakfast and Eli was playing with a few pieces of toast and says, ”alldone,” and makes the sign. I repeated all done and he did it again! I text Jen and ask if she's been teaching sign language to Eli. She replied that they do a lot of sign there because one of the two year olds isn't speaking and the therapist wants him to sign to help communicate. Eli picked it up!

I'm not really sure what words he can speak. It's still pretty garbled and nothing is consistent. He'll say Hi-ya for Hi sometimes. He's said Alldone, as in one word. He says something like Come and makes the hand movement, like you would do for come here. He makes up a lot of words with the H sound. I think he's trying to say Haidyn. :)
