I've been doing the sign for milk for several months - Adriana won't do it back to us yet but if I think she might be hungry, I get her attention and say "Adriana, Milk?" while signing, and if she's hungry she gets a really big smile on her face and starts to bounce. If she's not she just looks away or acts disinterested. Can't wait til the day she does it herself! I also do the sign for food, I guess I need to pull the book out and memorize a few more. I've used signwithme.com to look up some of the signs, too. That’s so cool!!

We have signed to Addison from 6 months old and around 12-14 months he started to repeat the signs. Now at 17 months he will look out of the window and see a bird and turn to us doing the sign for bird whilst trying to say the word. He quite clearly understands the principal of comunication and enjoys the power it offers him. Thalia was signing at a much early age and already had at least a dozen clear words by 17 months. This shows just how lazy boys are... Keep it up! We have signed to Addison from 6 months old and around 12-14 months he started to repeat the signs.
