We are teaching some here and there. There is a program on our local PBS station called "signing time" that we watch on Sunday mornings. The lady is really good. You can also check it out on the web. Now that DS is picking up more and more, I'm looking fo

we only do a couple and they are related to eating: all done, more, milk, eat. I am hoping that this way in a couple months he will be able to tell me and I won't have to guess what he wants.

We took a baby sing and sign class a few months ago for babies up to 18 months I think. It was a really fun way to learn signs for a bunch of different things (food, animals, more, etc). The teacher said just start with a few and build up, like milk, more

We started signing with DD around 5 months.  She didn't start signing back until around 9 months.  We do the basics: more, all done, milk, cat, mommy, daddy, etc.  Funny thing, she learned to say the actual word "cat" before she learned

We have a book with a bunch of basic signs that are good.  But the best way we've found is to use youtube.  Just look up the sign and there are videos that show you the exact motion - easier to copy than looking at a book or flashcard.

We just do food related ones also.  The girl that watches my son shows him a signing video and does them too.  But it's all about being repetitive.  Kane now signs "all done" and "more" and understands more, eat, milk, no, all done.

We started around 6 months with just milk, eat and all done. At 9 months she started signing back milk. We are introducing more words like drink, book, cat, more, mommy and daddy. It's been going slow but she is catching on.
