We've been signing with her for about maybe a month now and this is the first sign that she's definitely recognized. The other ones we use the most often are mom, dad, milk, eat, more, and hungry. Sometimes I'll use cat and all gone too.
I'm really bummed we missed sign class this past week. At first I didn't think she liked it, but nowshe's starting to get it so I'm going to try and be more consistent. It blows my mind how smart she is already and she's only five months old!
Here is a site I like that shows a video for each word. I find it difficult to figure it out with just pictures.
In other news, Sienna is definitely starting to get interested in solids, two days ago I sat down with a bowl of cereal and her in my lap and she put her whole hand in it. She always tries to grab the food on our plates or the drinks from our cups. Eating dinner is hard because one of us is usually battling her for food while the other one scarfs. I can't wait until we get a high chair. When it comes I'm going to try solids again. I was sitting her in the bouncy before but that's way too hard. This is what we ended up with:
believe it or not but the big spot on the left is where she had just wiped her face, and immediately after this pic she wiped it clean again. :)
Anyways, I think I'm going to try cereal one more time and then I'm going to try either sweet potatoes or avocados. I'm soo excited for my garden so she can eat all our home grown organic produce! :D
How exciting! I'm not consistent with the signing, but I'll need to do better so Trey and Sienna can sign with each other! :)
ReplyDeleteawww that'll be so cute! I can't wait until she starts signing herself. The teacher said older babies usually catch on faster, so keep at it!
