Oh my goodness!!! I have to share this (proud mom showing off her child's accomplishments). There is a book that our friend LeAnn gave us called First Signs that teaches sign language. I read this book to Emily at LEAST once a day and all of a sudden today she started using the proper sign and saying the words for many words in the book . . . before today all she signed was more. She even said "ow" for hurt before we turned the page all the way!! It was so amazing : ) So I grabbed the video camera and got most of the way thru the book the 2nd time.
So shout out to LeAnn for the sign language book! Turn up the volume so you can hear. On the "Help and Hurt" page you'll notice that she says "ow" for hurt before I ask her what Help is. Here is the breakdown of the words that she signs and says:
signs and says Dad
skips mom (of course. she still hasn't said my name)
signs please
signs and says thank you
signs and says eat
signs and says all done
signs and says more (this was her only sign until today!)
says banana
tries to say apple
says cookie
says milk
says "ow" for hurt. (you can hear her say the word right when I turn to that page)
signs and says go
and then at ball she is ready to move on to another book
She normally says ball and book and says meow for cat and "Buuu" for dog since all dogs are Bud.
