It's Baby Signing Time!


This was such a great shower gift! Its one of the few videos that I put on for Zachary to watch. We started this when he was really little but just recently has gotten into it. Now when I put it on he goes right up to the TV to see it. He would watch the entire show like this if I would let him. The first sign that Josh and I have focused on is "more." We started signing when Zachary transitioned to eating food in the high chair (3 months), it wasn't long before he knew what it meant! What can I say the kid LOVES food, so it was easy to understand "more." However, a few weeks ago he started signing back to us! At first we weren't really sure he knew what he was doing. But, now whenever the DVD starts Zach gets so excited he starts signing! Its so much fun to watch him learn!


"You put your finger tips together,"
"Your finger tips together,"
"Your finger tips together for more, more, more!"
"Just stick to it, I know you can do it! Show me, show me, MORE, MORE, MORE!"

Can't you just hear the song now?!

I keep seeing this and wondering whether I shouled get something like it for Chloe. We had to teach Peyton the signs for 'More' and 'Open' as part of his speech therapy because he was having problems speaking.

He'd had so many ear infections his first year of life that now he is behind. I wish I would have thought of something like this for him when he was still itty bitty. Little Zachary is getting so big and SO, so cute!!! Looks like you are having a great time with him!

After having heard that song several times a day, I think I do have in my head. It was fun to watch and work with Zach in his signing. He does love that video.

That's great that you got pictures of him signing! We have video of Gabe signing, but I don't know if we ever got pictures.
