Vivi's baby signs

Vivi has been using baby sign language since December, but recently she's added a bunch of new signs to her "vocabulary". It's fun to see her use it to communicate. I'm eager for her to get to the point of saying the sign at the same time she's doing the sign. With Owen, he started doing that around 20 months (if I remember correctly) and then a few months later he had dropped most of the signs and would just talk.

This is Vivi's sign for "more". The real sign is putting your finger tips together, but she takes her right pointer and puts it into her palm.


The other signs she uses on a daily (or almost daily) basis are: milk, bath, eat, daddy, please, all done, sleep, airplane, dog, and pear.

Vivian's first sign

Owen started signing when he was 16 months. I am so impressed with Baby Signing Time. It's so fun to communicate with your baby before they start speaking!

Disclaimer: My sing-songy voice is so annoying - I must apologize in advance. :0)

Owen is signing!

I had tried Baby Sign Language with Owen when he was around 6 months old, but didn't stick with it very long. Out of curiosity, I reintroduced it to him and he picked it up right away!

He's only doing two right now ~ eat and more. It's so cute!

I'm trying to catch it on video. Maybe tonight during dinner. Stay tuned!

1/15/10 - UPDATE: I shot this video this morning at breakfast. After he ate, he was able to (with prompting) sign for milk! (Unfortunately, my camera battery was dead, so I couldn't get it on camera. Next time, definitely.) YAY for baby signs!
