Surprised Response - Using Baby Sign Language

by Shannon
(Lansing, MI)

I have just recently been seriously teaching my 14 month old daughter sign language.

Her first few signs took what seemed to be forever to learn.

Recently I have been trying to teach her "no-no's". Every time she gets into things she shouldn't I sign "no."

This afternoon I asked her to come over to me and with out hesitation she signed, "no" and continued to play.

I stood with my jaw dropped expression for a few minutes before I could speak again. It just amazes me how quickly she picks it up.
