Signing with one hand is perfectly acceptable  ;D

Cadan who is 26mo made a new friend called Bobby at our play group today. Tonight he was asking me "Where's Bobby?" and had made up a sign for Bobby. He was actually using the winding action from the "Wind the Bobbin Up" song if anyone knows that. I guess he thought bobbin and Bobby were similar.  ;D

That's so clever Ali!

Yesterday at lunch, F was signing drink, so I offered her some water in her sippy cup. She had a small drink, then pushed it away, but continue to sign water. I was confused and she was frustrated, until she signed glasses (as in, for vision) and water together. Then I realised she wanted her water in a glass like me, not in her cup! I was so impressed with her for making that connection (but she still didn't get a glass  :P )

Not that I am trying to push it or anything, but will he ever start signing? :(
It's breaks my heart to see him so frustrated that he can't express himself (that's why I started signing in the first place, to prevent it to a certain degree), but he doesn't even have one sign yet...

It was around 12mo that we got our first sign Ima even though we signed consistently since 6mo. Once he caught on to one he suddenly started doing a load as if something finally clicked.

That is so clever Nuala.

Hi ladies, thought I'd join in.  I signed with Claire and we both loved it.  We've been signing with Graham for about a month now and we all love it, LOL!  I've been amazed at what Claire has remembered and how much she likes to do it with Graham.  She is now asking what the sign is for almost everything, so we've been adding to our repertoire.  Graham watches our hands so intently when we do it and just smiles along. :D

Hey Katie - welcome.

Ima - it took DS ages too, and one day I was 'ugh!' and said to him "What is it? Do you want a drink?' and he nodded and I said 'Well, can you show me the sign for it?' and he did! He knew it all along but I'd never thought to ask him to show me. After that they came on pretty fast.

Welcome Katie :) And way to go Freddie! Duck was one of Felicity's earliest signs too.

F managed to post a small passport photo of DH into the toilet today  ::) and came up with:

Dada! (spoken) *where*? *toilet* *all gone*!

oh, my gosh.  I can't believe I missed this forum.  I have been searching for a good signing forum for a while... and there was one right here on bw where I've been since my lo was born.

Quick intro.. My dd Caroline is 10mo and she signs "more" "milk" (she uses it for all drinks) and "finished".  She also waves hi and bye.  Right now we are working on "eat" and "Cheerio".

I see that some of you love the "help" sign.  What age did your lo start to understand the concept of "help".  It seems so abstract. I'm just not sure she would get it yet.

Hey Justine welcome!

I can't remember exactly when DS started but it was probably around 11-12 months...I just always would sign it when asking if he needed help...he never did the sign back to me correctly but made up his own but i continued to sign it correctly...I think if your DD has all those signs already that you could just start going for it and do signs for as many things and concepts as you want/can...I found that once DS got those first few signs all the other ones came on pretty fast
