More Signing!

January 16th, 2009

The sign for “Da Da” is completely wrong. No idea what he was doing there. The rest are either correct or what he’s doing is consistently his version — the babysign equivalent of baby talk. (For example, he uses one finger to his mouth for water instead of three). Fun stuff!

Signing!

I know I can upload a video into iPhoto. I wonder if I can make this any brighter in iPhoto…? Hm.

(Instead of signing “carrot,” he throws a ladle. But other than that, pretty good!)

Henry’s Signs

October 21st, 2008

UPDATED BY DAD:

Henry is signing pretty consistently now.

Signs he really has down:

  • all done
  • eat
  • horse
  • more
  • fish
  • milk
  • dog
  • cat
  • baby
  • play
  • kiss
  • cereal
  • shoes
  • signing
  • mom (upgraded by dad)
  • wash your hands
  • hat
  • banana

Signs he has but they’re either really rare, really new, I’m not convinced he understands them, or he’ll only do if asked:

  • dad
  • socks
  • bird
  • please
  • car
  • frog (tempted to upgrade. he even croaks, kind of)
  • bath (upgraded)
  • brush your teeth (just tried this today, and he does it with great and enthusiastic vigor.  stay tuned.)
  • giraffe
  • pajamas (which consists of two signs, “sleep” and “clothes” so, theoretically, he’s got those, too.)
  • airplane
  • train (caveat: he did something very specific for “train,” but it was neither “train” nor any other sign i recognized.  will test over the next few days.)

Signs we sign to him, but he hasn’t signed back (that I know of — April, Matt: feel free to correct me):

  • cracker
  • thank you
  • sorry
  • help
  • bear
  • elephant
  • get dressed
  • change
  • diaper
  • music
