Here are a couple videos of Wes. In this one he is trying to tell me he wants something, but I have no idea what it is. He uses signs and sounds to communicate–some are really clear and understandable (“No!”), but others I have to guess at. In this video he says the words “more” and “no” pretty clearly. He also makes signs for “more,” “open,” and “on.” (The plastic on the floor is due to our basement remodeling.)

Here we’re singing a song. I mean, I’m singing and Wes is listening but doing the finger actions along with me. He loves loves loves music and singing. In this video he makes the sign for “song” (or “music”) and does the finger actions of “turtle,” “swim,” “eat,” and “bubble.”
