Sylvia and buddies have been taking sign language for three weeks now. We have all expanded our depth of American Sign Language and are deepening our abilities to hopefully communicate better some day. We can read Eric Carle's, "The Very Hungry Catepillar," in ASL now. Whenever, we sign with Sylvia, we also say the words so that she is learning both.
The idea behind teaching Sylvia sign language is to make her bi-lingual. She'll have two ways of telling us what she wants - her hands and mouth. Sylvia's sign vocabulary includes: "more," "eat," "all done," "milk," and "bird." We are teaching her additional food signs, feeling signs, and signs about family.
She's just turned 16 months and her verbal skills are also exploding. Some of her current favorite words are: "baby," "fish," "shoe," "turtle," "bubbles," and most importantly, "ball." She has also started singing her own rendition of "Old MacDonald" which consists of "e-i-e-i." She really likes the refrain. It is pretty catchy.

I think she's on the verge of getting the sign for 'help' down which hopefully be good for those situations when she gets frustrated. Also, she is starting to do the sign for 'fish'.
