I have been working on baby sing language for the past few months with Benjamin. He is just now starting to understand and repeat the signs. Today he even did the sign for "more" before I asked him. He is really coming along. I hope it helps us both communicate in the coming months. Some of the signs are real sign language and some of them I made up. Here is a great site to learn more signs.
These are the signs he can do-that doesn't mean he knows what they mean yet. I'm just saying he can repeat them.
- washy washy~for washing hands
- All done ~ when he is finished eating (he usually just starts throwing his food on the floor instead. This one is going to take some time to master.)
- Bonk bonk ~for when he falls down and gets hurt (he usually taps his head repeatedly I don't know why he didn't for the video)
- more~ when he wants more food or drink
- eat~ when he is hungry
And here are some we are working on.
- milk
- water
- cookie
- dog
- airplane ~ right now he just points in the sky when he hears one instead of doing the sign.

Cute, cute!
Love signing. We started that with Jocelynn at 4 months old and I think it helped her to communicate at a young age. We have 11 signing time DVDs and they are amazing. Go to signingtime.com and check it out! Go Benjamin!
check out "signing time" dvds, you can even you tube it to get a glimpse. they are pricy but SO good. My daughter knows at least 100 signs, we started practicing at 6 months but started the dvd's a little over a year, you can totally start earlier though.
I have a friend who did this with her daughter. THey loved it. It's a good idea.
