My 11 month old knows 8 signs!
My 11 month old already signs back to me. So far Ben can sign: mom, dad, eat, more, up, all done, dog, and bed. When he starts to get a little fussy and I’m not sure if he’s hungry or tired I just ask him while signing, ” do you want to eat”, or ” are you tired, do you want to go to bed?” And it’s amazing at 11 months old he’ll tell me. Sometimes when I didn’t even know he was tired he’ll sign bed to me… and what do you know I put him in bed and he’s happy. It always surprises me at how smart babies are, and most of the time the parents have no idea how much their child understands.
I love baby sign language!!! I hope parents with little ones don’t miss out on this, because it’s one of the best things I’ve ever done as a parent by far.
