Theo is totally learning to talk. Sure, actual words are a long way off, but yesterday he was putting together 2 or 3 noises in a row, gesturing, and repeating the same sequence with clear intent (well, the intent wasn't clear, but the fact that there WAS intent was clear).
Of course, because it's so new we don't yet know what he means when he's trying to communicate, so he gets frustrated when we can't figure it out. But we keep trying to guess. I think our guesses are getting better, and his absolute joy when we get it right is making me tear up just thinking about it.
