Baby Sign Language

We have been doing baby sign language with Fiona since she was about 9 months. At first we just did a few signs like more and milk and only did them periodically. As Fiona has gotten older and more aware we have started using more signs (and watching more of the baby signing time video). Lately, Fiona has been showing an understanding of the signs and when to use them.

Fiona knows that when we say and sign eat that she should go to her high hair. Fiona also knows that when we say and sign bath or bed she should go to the stairs.

The past week or so Fiona has been demonstrating that she also knows how to use the signs. She consistently signs and says more when she wants more of something. However, when she is lazy she will point to the empty spot on her tray and grunt until she gets more of what she wants.

Emily has been signing bath for about a month. Last week Fiona started signing and saying bath back (and then running to the bathroom).
