Lili uses about half verbal language and half sign language.
THIS video is a great example of it (sorry, I can't figure out how to upload it here...)~ I ask her to say
Atticus and she does. I ask her to say kitty and she gives me it in sign. The sign for kitty looks like stroking whiskers. Lil's version reminds me of an Italian chef saying "perfect", or maybe some sort of elegant composer saying "Ta-
da".
I can't imagine life without sign right now. I think this might be my #1
recommendationn for new parents. There are tons of baby sign books out there. Lil is particularly loving
this one:
Although it isn't great for small babies because it isn't a board book.
I have so much
gratitude that she can communicate with me in this way.

The video seems to be private... We are trying a few signs with Corbin but I feel like he isn't getting them. I know I just need to keep with it. I can't wait to see the video.
Hopefully I fixed it.
I always wanted to teach my son to sign--but he really only learned "milk" and "more" (two essentials, no doubt) and then started to speak. I do think signing greatly reduces frustration during that awkward age where they clearly KNOW what they want to say and just cant say it yet! Yay for Lil signing so much!
I love it! Maybe she can teach Corbin a few! Looks like some yummy cherrios too:-)
That video is so cute! We have been doing signs with Camden since he was tiny, but he's still just 8 months old so hasn't really picked up on any yet. I'm hoping that he will soon though! Lili is our inspiration! I still remember when you were here in NH this winter and my mom picked you two up in the car and as soon as she was in her car seat she was signing "all-done" - she didn't want to drive anywhere! haha! Hope you're doing great!
