What a great video- you seem like such a natural…I feel like such a big dork…but you did marvy! Your son is a cutie patootie. I love ASL and my lil guy is learning a lot from it.

Omg! That was the cutest thing! Loved it! My first daughter learned to sign “more” and “all done” when she was about a year old but we never pursued anything further. Both my girls were early talkers so they haven’t gotten too frustrated yet with trying to communicate, which has helped immensely.

Elizabeth – we have the Baby Einstien “My First Sign”, although I do like “Signing Times” better! We used to be able to watch it on PBS, but since it’s no longer on, I may get a couple of them for the next baby. It sure is a great way to learn some new signs!

That’s awesome! We used baby signs with both of our little ones. Our son had quite a long list of signs which helped because he talked a little later than most. Now he’s nine and talks non-stop! We still giggle about his different signs he used ~Jenny

Do you have Baby Signing Times? It has been GREAT for helping my son learn to sign– he is 15 months and signs food, drink, milk, cereal, more, all done, dog, thank you, hat, socks, and hurt. I’m not big on letting kids watch TV, but we make an exception for this series.

Great work! I enjoyed that immenselly! My Tornado first signed “please” in the waiting room for one of my pre-natal appointments with Sweet Pea, so he was somewhere around 14 months too, I guess. He wanted on the chair… again, and I really didn’t want him up there. I thought I’d figured out the perfect solution… I told him he needed to say (sign) please if he wanted up. Turns out, he already knew the sign because it didn’t take long. Then he signed it all the time. Oh, and I didn’t much mind putting him up on the chair after that. I’ll let him have pretty much anything he wants after such a victory.

I think our first sign was “all done” though, months earlier. I worked on it during meals. Funny that you are doing this series… I’m so glad. I feel so much more unsure this second time around… I keep missing things and forgetting to start things. She just seems so much more baby than Tornado ever did. We’ve just started trying to learn “all done” and “more” during meals. And by “starting to learn”, I mean I’m doing it.

The video thing is a great idea. I can’t wait to see the wee one on video with Cody!!
