So the day I have been waiting for has finally come. We have known for quite some time that language will probably always be a large struggle for McKay. We were just hopeful that we will be able to communicate with him some way. Whether that be sign language or some words. I have been tirelessly been working on signs with McKay for over a year now with no luck really at all. Just in the last couple of weeks he has grown leaps and bounds in the language department. He now has 2 full official signs "more" and "all done", he also does a sign for car. He can also say "woof" and "dat" for that. It may not sound like much but it is HUGE for little McKay. We are so happy with his progress and so happy that he is able to communicate with us. We are hopeful it only continues on from here! We have noticed he is starting to get frustrated that he can't tell us what he wants, a good sign. We have also bumped up his speech therapy to twice a month in hopes that we can capitalize on his language learning peak. Here is a video for those that want to see.

Oh! It just brought a smile to my face. What a cutie and looking good in his glasses.
He looks so grown up! And he is so grown up! Oh, we are so proud of him for the progress he is making. I can see a huge difference in just the short time we have been gone. Thanks for the post. We played the video several times. Miss all of you! Love you, too!
So dang Cute!!

Congratulations! Signe still doesn't have any signs, I know just how pleased you must be. Does McKay love to look at books? Signe could flip through books for an hour, it's her most favorite thing.
oh my! he is so cute. that makes me happy!
