When I first found out I was expecting one of the first things I purchased was baby signing books. A few years ago I met a child who was signing....and I just thought that was the most amazing thing he wanted "more" strawberries. I have just started a couple weeks ago with my 5 month old...just the basics....Mom, Dad, eat, change(diaper), all done
He still doesn't grasp the full meaning of all the signs but he sure lights up to the Mommy and Daddy signs! I think he knows....now just to get him to sign back to me.
I will keep you posted on his progress...remember he is still only 5 1/2 months old and they usually don't start to sign untill they are about 6-8 months.
