Cyprus is understanding a lot of what we say now, and he can follow some basic directions and do some basic sign language.

We are doing word card with him, and they have helped him learn how to clap and wave (and how to read those words as well). I learned yesterday that he now knows how to put his arms up. If you ask him to put his arms up, he will happily comply.

I am SO proud of his progress. His willingness and excitement to do these things to make me happy makes me a very proud and happy mama.

BTW, I don’t know when I took this photo because it sure doesn’t look like a photo taken of a baby who didn’t stop crying all day. I’m not lying, it did happen!
