Sign Language

For the past couple of months I have been signing to Cody. Von and I really want to get him into sign language so it will make our lives easier communicating with him. I've been reading a lot about when to start and everything says around 6 months, but if he is making eye contact with you than you can start signing and he will pick it up as he gets older. So everyday I try to make it a habit and sign to him the basics. So far I sign Mommy, Daddy, Grandma, Grandpa, Food, and Sleepy. Once he picks up these I will probably try more. Oh and I also sign his name to him when we sing one of his favorite songs BINGO, but instead we use CODY. I love signing to him. Everyday we sit down together after he eats and I go through all the signs. He always gets a big smile and pays attention so I know he is going to be a great signer. Now I am also trying to sign while I do things in the house with him. Whenever I talk about someone or something than I try to do the sign. I usually forget, but it's just going to take practice. So if anybody is around him and you want to teach him a new sign or do the signs he already knows then feel free to sign to the Codster. I guarantee you will get a smile out of him.
