Please!

We have been trying to teach James baby sign for... well a very long time. He caught on to all done at 7 months and I thought 'this will be a breeze.' Well, that was the only one he picked up until this past month when finally after months of diligence we finally go him to say 'please' and 'more'! It is so much better now because he would get so frustrated when he wanted something he would just start throwing a fit and we wouldn't know why. Now he can point and say please or let us know if he wants more food and what he wants more of. He is much less frustrated with us. However he does think that he should get everything he asks for which just isn't feasible at times (aka knives, the lap top, etc.) But at least it has much improved our general communication. He also loves pretending to talk on our phones. I love it he will walk around jabbering on it. Here is a quick video of saying please and talking on the phone. He usually will talk but was a little in awe of the camera.

I love baby sign language! It helped so much when Ky was little, and I'm hoping Grant begins to catch on soon.
