He has come a long way

He may not be talking to us to communicate but he certain does communicate with us. He points at what he wants and goes "uh." He now shakes and nods his head when asked yes and no questions. Oh and he knows "all done" in baby sign language (however, he rarely uses it...he also masters skills, does them a few times and then moves on to mastering more). So it is fun starting to have "conversations" with him.

He also understands "time to go upstairs to bed/nap." When said, he turns to the stairs and starts to climb. If asked where his blankie and Juppy (Joseph's puppy) are: he will go find them. So besides starting to "talk" he is starting to listen and respond to what we say in ways that show us he understands what we are saying to him.
