I put this list together recently (signs he uses for expressive and receptive communication) and am excited to show it to Max's sign language teacher tomorrow morning. We just started with her and she wanted to have an idea of where he is right now. While I know we have a long way to go...this is pretty great progress, isn't it?

Believe me, the "angry finger" counts!
Meril
great job, Max! you've got a pretty good list of words there. and Amy, i think the angry finger counts... he's expressing himself, right?! :) SO GLAD you guys are feeling better!
Way to Go Max. I love the angry finger and am pretty sure it counts:) I hope Max is feeling better. Talk to you soon.
Wow! I have a lot to learn to keep up with you Max!
wow that very impressive!! Miss you Amy hope to see you soon :)
I think this was a good exercise for you too... to physically write down your sons amazing vocabulary! It's a little more amazing when you can "see" their progress.
But you learning a new language now as an adult... Max is going to pass you up soon in ASL I bet!
