We have always had a lot of fun teaching our kids 'baby sign language'. We usually only do about four or five signs and they are modified a bit from traditional sign language, but it works because our family knows what the signs mean and that is who 95% of the communication is between.
Charles and I had just recently commented that we thought we were being really lazy with teaching Addie, but it appears that she has picked up some of it based on her dinner tonight. She seems to be doing the 'more' sign which is always the first one for our kids (and is essentially just bringing their hands together somewhat like a clap but as they get better will have cupped hands and fingers).
More Food...of course! Despite both of her brothers being motor-mouths, it seems that she wants in on the action of communicating. Here is a video that shows her in action at dinner tonight.

Very cute! Go Addie go! Do you ever stop and think, after you re-watch a video like this, of how much cheering and praise babies get when they do something? Wouldn't it be nice if people cheered for adults when we accomplished things! :)
I love how dainty she is when bringing her hands together. Very lady-like!
Oh good for Addie sticking herself in and learning to communicate! How adorable is she? Well, a lot. :)
Yeah Addie! (And yeah for Theo in the background saying "please" and Jack for cheering her on!) :D
She is precious and smart for learning a language that can be heard over her brothers' talking.
Just got a chance to watch these videos and read about the fam!! What a joy!! What precious kids!! :)
