Matthew is a little developmentally delayed in all areas, but he is most delayed in language acquisition. We've been working twice a month with an early language specialist and working with Matthew every day on words and sign language. And he's making some progress!
His latest is waving hi/bye. Though he hasn't mastered both lifting his arm and moving his fingers to wave, he does attempt to wave back. He can either lift his arm OR move his fingers (if you lift his arm for him). Hopefully soon he'll figure out how to put the two things together. He has to work so very hard for things that typically come easy for babies. But he does work that hard and even though it is not the whole wave, we rejoice in the forward progress!
