Baby Sign Language





When we were pregnant with Bria, we decided that as soon as we could, we were going to sign with Bria. I think we started signing with her once she was able to eat solid foods on a regular basis, probably around eight months. The first sign we started teacher her is "more". She learned that really quick. Then we started teaching her more signs. In the span of about 3 months, she has learned all of these (marked with stars):




we are currently working on 'thank-you' and 'thirsty'. This has made our life so so much easier, and I'm sure it's made Bria's life easier too. Being able to communicate what she needs and wants is a huge advantage since obviously she can't talk. She hasn't said any words yet, but we are saying the words as we sign, so hopefully soon she'll start :) ... 

If you want anymore information on baby sign language, her are a couple sites that helped me out:
