Matthew is signing back to us! After months and months of signing to him, he signed back for the first time the word 'eat' this morning. Once to his Dad and twice to me right before breakfast to tell me he wanted his oats!!
I've been using the Australian Baby Hands method for teaching baby sign language to Matthew. We were introduced to the author Jackie Durnin last May before Matthew was born and both agreed that it would be something we wanted to teach to our baby. Matthew signing back this morning, means that he's able to communicate his basic needs to us while he is still pre-verbal. Some of the other words I've been teaching him to sign are 'drink', 'book', 'fish', 'more' and 'finish'. (will try to post a video soon).
