Sorry for the delay, but I've been trying to get a video to upload and it's not working...maybe it's too long? Hmm...You'll have to deal with my terrible explanations instead...
The babies have been signing like crazy. It's really cute and really helpful all at the same time. So far they know: milk, more, all done, change (diaper), up, please, bath, eat, story...I think that's it. They blow kisses and wave hello or good bye too.
The funny part is when they do them without cueing. If I say "banana" Natey starts doing "more" like crazy. Sammy has also morphed two signs together...he puts "please" and "more" together. It looks like he's rubbing his hands together while washing his hands or something (this is the terrible description that would have been much cuter had I been able to upload the video).
They also spontaneously do them if they hear a word that somebody might be saying in conversation. If I tell Eli to pick a story, Ben starts signing "story". If we say the word wave, Natey starts waving like a crazy man (also a cute visual...sorry!!!).
We've been working on singing "up, help, and sorry". They watch the Baby Einstein signing video sometimes, but mostly we use them in context. I'm just glad to see they're picking them up. I'd love to see them use them when they get frustrated, but they haven't quite figured that out yet.
