Baby Sign

I wasn't much on the whole "baby sign" gig when I first started being a parent but Mel was watching Layla at the time and they did a few signs... if I remember correctly it was all done and eat at first.

So as time goes on, Layla picks up new signs from things Jon, Erin and I do and from things we actually teach her. Now we've got signs that accompany a lot of the words that Layla says. The two most common ones which she likes to use with grandparents and Daddy are for things she has words for.

So first she says "eat"

Then she says "eeeeaaaaatttttT" like you maybe didn't understand her...

Then she does this....

We also have "mo" which is more...

or "ome" which is some...

Or this lovely sign which means I'd like some more drink in my straw cup (complete with fake sucking on her finger)

And for the record we still sign all those first things... like "awl done" (all done) and "stop"...
