Baby Sign Language

After enjoying a yummy gourmet breakfast at Auntie Kendra and Uncle Jason's house, Paul and I took a class this weekend called Baby Sign Language. We learned 30 different signs to start signing with Syona so she can eventually sign back with us before she can talk. There are various signs for actions such as diaper change, poop, potty, eat, drink, more, please, thank you, go, stop, etc. They say kids can start picking up on signs around 6 months, but the earlier you start signing the better. At around 10 months or later the kids will start signing back. Signing allows kids the ability to express what they want instead of just crying, kicking and screaming. Other exciting Syona news, she has learned to purse her lips and blow which makes her spit and she can suck on her feet now too. She also likes being carried around in the MOBY wrap which makes my life easier because I can cook, make the bed, do laundry, you name it with little Syona strapped to me. Here are some pics from the weekend:
