Sign Language

As many of you may know, babies/toddlers are able to give signs (using American Sign Language) much earlier than they can verbalize words.  This eliminates alot of frustration caused by communication issues between parents and babies.  Thus, we decided to teach Grace as many useful signs as we thought we would need.  At last count, there were 14 signs that she learned and used on a regular basis until she was able to say the words.  At this point she has learned many of the words and has dropped the sign, but others are still beng used.  Here is the list (in order of when she started using them).

1) book
2) more
3) milk
4) all done
5) thank you
6) bath
7) please
8) hot
9) cold
10) hat
11) sleep
12) baby
13) ouch
14) [diaper] change
