Anthony is growing and learning so fast that I find where did the time go? He is becoming quite the sassy pants, his favorite game is to make sure I am watching, give me a sassy look and then do something he knows he is not suppose to do.  Also thanks to some guidance from Casey he can now climb through the railing at the bottom of the stairs so that baby gate has been rendered useless...if I want to run upstairs and do something really quick I have a little helper that will follow me everytime.  Anthony still is reluctant to start talking....which is frustrating for everyone.  I took him to a speech evaluation this week and confirmed that everything else is fine, he hears, he understands, he just doesn't talk.  She gave me some new things to try with him including incorporated some sign language which he has taken to really well.  Hopefully these new strategies will work and get him chatting.
