This is Fireese's little brother and we've been signing with him since he was 2 months and he signed back for the first time yesterday :-)

I wanted to share a video of my beautiful signing son seeing that many of you have seen my daughter, Fireese grow up signing on You Tube!

i have watched every video i could find of you and im planning on ordering the flashcards soon! i have a 7.5 month old and just started signing with him a few days ago. i know this will sound eager, but how long should i expect it to take to see results? (he is pretty focused on learning how to stand up right now.) i am very patient and in no hurry id just like to have an idea so i can keep a realistic expectation! that will help me stick to it. any advice you have is greatly appreciated.

@Rahzi25 It depends on how consistent you are and also on the interest of your baby. My son signed really early (and walked early as well!) my daughter started at 9.5 months. The best thing to do is stick to a few signs at first and be consistent with them. Good luck!!

Precious! My 7mo nephew signs milk now too. First sign, I'm so proud! It's hard since his parents hardly sign with him, but I'm fortunate to be around him a lot. Now that he's signing, they'll catch on! Do you just teach them signs, or is your goal ASL fluency? I'm aiming for fluency, because, like you, I have many Deaf friends and I'm part of the Deaf community. When he's around native signers, he just stares at his own hands, as if he's asking himself, "How can I do that?" lol. He's so cute!

@123nickiv Thanks! I'd like my kids to become fluent in ASL. Right now we are just signing words but sentences will come soon!

Hi Laura,

We been talking long time ago about my son wich is going to turn 3 in May but my problem is that he is not talking really good and his teacher is bleming that I teach him sign languaje when he was 11 months. But I love sign languaje and I don't agree with her. We are a bilingual family and my falt was been talking with him in inglish and spanich like-- Vamos to outside, or traeme tus shoes. Like a mix of both and the teacher tell me to stop that and start talking just one with him.

@jimbobgeorgejohn you are right, signing is not the cause of him not talking. People confuse speech with language. There has been a lot of studies done one signing and speech and there is no negative effect. Also, the American Association of Paediatricians came out with a formal stance that they support the use of signing with children. If you or the teacher is concerned I would maybe have him see a speech & language pathologist for assessment.

I love how he looks at his hand as he's signing like "Oh my god I'm actually doing it!"

So was this his first word?

My baby boy, Jonah, finally knows the sign for milk. He just turned seven months and has been really understanding it for about two weeks! :)
