Starter Signs

[heathernkids]

The book says to start with 3-6 signs  "see a lot, do a lot" maybe start with 1/2 "needs" signs, and 1/2 fun ones

HELP, MORE, WHAT, BED, DRINK, EAT, ALL-DONE, MILK, WHERE

"motivating signs "fun"

BALL, LIGHT ON/OFF, MUSIC, BEAR, CAR, CAT, DOG, FAN, KEY

Of course there are a lot more, but I guess these ones are quite easy.

Hi heathernkids,
what age did you start the signing? about what age did your baby start signing back? I'm very interested. I started to sign with my bubba (now 6 months) but kind of slackened off because it seemed like she was too young to understand...

i was such a slacker with signing, but trust me, even if they don't sign back, they probably get it.  I was surprised when my baby at 7 months started signing milk especially since i only signed it sporadically.
