MORE!

We have done Baby Sign with Hannah and Naomi, and we've started signing to Sim. He's hilarious about it, he smiles huge smiles whenever we show him a sign. I think it's because he's really attuned to movement. And he loves it when people talk to him.

Yesterday at dinner Michael and I were taking turns feeding him and Michael was signing "more" in between bites as we usually do, accompanying the sign with the question, "More? Do you want more?" Well, what do you know, but Sim signed MORE! It wasn't exactly like the grown-ups' sign, but that's the way it is with babies and signing. We could still tell that he was watching Michael's sign and repeating it.

Everyone was thrilled. The girls both got down from their chairs and rushed over to his high chair and began signing "more" repeatedly while saying, "More? More, Sim? More? More, Sim?" I think Sim was a bit overwhelmed. He did sign "more" a few more times during the meal, but I had to ask the girls to go back to their seats so as not to completely smother Sim with the "more" sign. But really I was as excited as they were!
