It finally worked
So I have been doing sign language with Olivia since she was 8 months (I think). She has always done the sign for more and eat and drink when I said the words but I can feel confident saying she actually knows what they mean and how to use them. On Sunday I gave her some shredded cheese and went to put the cheese away she walked up to me and signed "more" then "eat." So I am a very proud mom! I have been trying to teach her more signs but there is a learning curve for myself plus actually remembering to sign when I am talking.

Hooray! I LOVE those signs. I learned a few with Cooper (Steph's oldest)since he had speech issues and used them with Jos and continued with my other beasties. Eat, more, drink and all-done. Love the communication!
Way to go Olivia!!! That is awesome. My neighbor growing up was deaf, so I still remember some signs from babysitting him, but am definitely not consistent with using them. I'm starting to do more of them though.
It helped so much with my first, a lot less frustration, great for you guys!
Yay! That's awesome. It's always a wonderful feeling when something you are trying to teach your little one works out. Like Lib said, sign was one of my best friends with Cooper. :)
