Sign Language

I have been using a few baby signs with Alisa to teach her how to communicate with her hands until she can talk. She has finally used the sign for "more" a few times now! Today was the first time she did it perfectly (gather fingers to thumb and tap both hands together at the fingertips). This is very exciting for me because I have been using that sign during mealtimes for months now, hoping she'd start signing back to me. She usually points at the food she wants or she'll look at it and shriek repeatedly, so this was a nice, quiet change.
