I sign alot to Byron. Songs and just general chit chat. Amy is right, start straight away. My niece was signing way before she could talk. It was so easy cause we knew what she wanted. We would ask her if she wanted milk (with sign) & if she signed milk back we knew she wanted some, if she didn't sign back then we knew she didn't want any. I took her to a baby shower once & she was the life of the party. She was about 15 months old & was signing so so many words. Everyone was shocked at how smart she was te he he.. The best way to teach them is to sign whilst saying the word, then get their hand/s & make them do it. I think they'll start showing the signs around 9 months.
Byron slept from 8.30pm to 7am, and even then I woke him up. He hadn't fed since 7pm so I figured he would be hungry for sure but he just fussed over the bb.
My mum arrived from Sydney on Sunday to meet her 1st grandson (my sister has 3 girls). She adores him, of course! She leaves boxing day then Dh's family arrive, then my sister & her girls are coming up. What a way to spend the festive season. It's great.
