Baby Signing

Last week Alexander responded with his first sign. We teach all our kids Sign Language in their pretalking months of life. It has worked really well for us, they can tell us what they want, we understand them. They are much less frustrated with life, since they can express themselves and so on. Also, they have all been early and advanced talkers, so that has been nice too. Anyway, Alexander started signing "finished" last week. So, today I am trying to get a picture of it. It goes about like this:

Mama, "Alexander are you finished (signing finished to him also)?"
Alexander laughs, gets a huge smile on his face and says "more", while shoving more food in his mouth.














A few minutes later, after he stops eating and is just sitting there for a while.
Mama, "Alexander are you finished?"
Alexander laughs, smiles and says, "More"

Repeat a few minutes later.

Several minutes go by, more sitting around and looking finished.






Mama, "Alexander are you finished?"
Alexander smiles, slightly moves his hands in the finished sign, but is more facinated by the camera than signing right now






Finally, after many more, "Alexander are you finished?" times, he is finished, but never does admit it for the camera.
