a signing fool.

At 19 months, Henry has a smattering of "words". They are definitely not clear to non-parental ears and usually, not very clear to me. He is within normal range but just not a traditional talker....yet.

He blabbers complete nonsense all day long and he signs. I first tried out signs when he was around 9 months old but he didn't pick them up and I got bored and felt silly using signs to a baby that had no idea what I was talking about.

Fast forward to around 14 months old and we have a little signing fool!!! He picks up new signs immediately and he makes them his own by tweaking them to his little needs.

A sample:

"help"

"please"

"cow"

"pig"

"cat"

We were at a Mexican restaraunt and he loved the salsa...

Can you tell?

"thank you"

"more"

I didn't have pictures of : bird, cereal, I don't know, bee, up, light, fan, sun, star....maybe later!
