FIRST WORD!

I had confirmation from a friend today and I am calling it. Henry has a 1st word!!!!!!!!!!!!

"Down"

Woo hoo!!!! This is only spoken when he is walking down stairs and admittedly is not crystal clear (more of a "Dow") but it is there! Anyone who has seen his obsession with climbing up and down stairs would not be surprised to have this as his first word.

In other exciting verbal news - Henry did his first sign language sign today! After MONTHS of showing him, he started making the sign for "more" today! He is doing it all over the place - he kept signing "more" in the bathtub tonight....not sure what that was for.

This was a very exciting day for our little guy - as we know he is behind on his expressive communication skills (and advanced on his motor skills) and he has been working very hard in his Early Intervention sessions each week. We are so proud of him!

We had a fun day today - we took him way out in Western MA to a place called Davis' Farmland where we met up with his friend Griffin. The place was great - very large petting zoo, a fabulous toddler water park, playgrounds galore...Henry has a great time. Here are some pictures of him enjoying the day:
