sign of the times

Tonight we think Ellie signed the word "light" as she pointed to a lamp, and "more" when she wanted another go-around the kitchen in her cardboard box.  Pretty cool!

Although this is a common language technique for babies these days, I wish her great grandpa was alive to see this.  He was a CODA (child of deaf adults) when ASL was far less socially acceptable.

That is so cool! I love the whole sign language with babies thing! In one of my early childhood development classes we talked about how smart/neat it is, and how it enables them to communicate with adults much younger and better than without it! :) Yay for my smart neice Ellie! :)
