It's official! I am now officially using American Sign Language to communicate with Mom and Dad! This afternoon, just before my usual snack time while busy playing, I started to cry and then crawled over to Mom and signed for 'milk' to let her know I was hungry. It's really amazing to be able to express my needs since there are so many words I can't yet say! Even though I can already say words like Cat (Ga),Ma,Da,Uh-oh,Ball(bow),Mmm-mmm (doggie sound),Brrrrrr(you know, the sound a car makes),Baby(bay) and a few others, this should (in theory) allow me to let Mom and Dad know what's on my mind when I don't yet have the words on the tip of my tongue. This is going to be fun!
