We used sign language with Ben and it helped us sooooo much, so we were very excited to get started with Ally. She is still a bit choppy at it, but good grief! she just turned 7 months! Next I will try to teach her "all done"

 I would just give her a bite of food, then say "you want more?" then I would do the sign for more, while saying "more, more" then I would make her little hands do it and say "more, more" then I would give her another bite. It took a few weeks, but now she is getting it. It took Ben a little longer to get started, but once he did, he picked up a sign every day or so. His first word was "Is dat? " and I would tell him what it was and show him the sign for it. He had over 30 signs at one point. It was a total life saver for us.  |
