Pequita is using some of her sign language signs. She's learned the signs for her most treasured and favorite objects, like the windsock in the shape of a fish that her Aunties sent her. It bobs and floats in the wind, and looks like it is swimming. We visit it each day outside, and Pequita flaps her hand open and shut in a clear (to us) hand sign. She loves her fishy with a passion right now. Apologies for the subpar filming. Monito was in my arms wrestling me for the camera.

About Me
- Homestead Mom
- I'm a suburban woman on a quest for the simple life on our 10 acres in the Fingerlakes region of New York. I am living the dream and staying home to raise my two kids while my wife and I try to renovate our 150 year old farmhouse and keep the grapevines from consuming the house. We are a free-range family, and I spend my days with the kids crafting, gardening, canning fruit, and keeping the peace. Some days I'm lucky enough to fit in a little knitting.
My life, my writing, my pictures.

You are right, that was clearly "fish". She's such a smart little bugger. I bet once she realizes the connection between signing something and getting something she will start using them more. Isn't that how language works? She's clearly understood what others sign to her for months now. When do babies start to speak words more regularly? xxx k
PS- now i have the "signing time" song in my head. :P
usually by 18 mos they have a good vocabulary, but really any time. depends on the kid.
