He understands them all, I would even say better than the words alone, and is using 'more', 'water' and 'all done'. But there is still a lot guessing what he wants to say, because he still doesn't sign them accurate. Like Ayden, he will kind of clap if he wants to sign 'more' and 'all done' is kind of vague too. But he is trying and we are listening/watching. In my believe, that is the key to good communication.Janahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16025928169662831704noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2002354997398671912.post-2597737765704334462012-11-29T09:27:44.792-05:002012-11-29T09:27:44.792-05:00We did baby signing here in the UK with my son and...We did baby signing here in the UK with my son and it was the biggest success! He could communicate with us at a young age and consequently we avoided a lot if the frustration tantrums. Now 3, he still occasionally uses some signs as he is talking to us without even realising he is doing it. It's wonderful - go for it!

His was a modified version which we never stressed on correcting because it was obvious what he was signing, but we always did it correctly in case he ever picked it up. He now 19 months and still uses signs, but uses the word with it too. For instance he will sign "done" and say it at the same time. He's dropped some signs and replaced them with words, which is ok with us. He seems to be better able to communicate with us than his cousins who are close in age to him (one is 7 months older the other 6 months younger and not strong communicators). I believe introducing him to signs has really put him at an advantage as far as communication which I'm sure he appreciates as he has fewer frustrations caused by communication struggles especially at the age when he's becoming very independent and opinionated but his vocabulary isn't caught up to him.
