High Five!

Simon seems to be starting to communicate with us a little bit, both with his hands and his voice. We are getting a hand wave from time to time, and while Simon's proficiency at this skill may be questionable, the intent seems to be there. He has also been doing a strange sideways motion with his left hand that seems to mean something to him, but we can't quite figure it out. And he also seems to be starting to try to point, although so far he just holds his entire hand out to whatever he is trying to indicate, rather than just the index finger.

And while Matt isn't totally sold on this yet, I do think Simon is trying to say Leia. He must hear her name all the time, and several times he has said something like "Ay-Uh" when she is around. I guess time will tell!

Finally, one of his favorite has long been and is still the high-five. Check him out.
