week 37 (baby signing) 253-259 days

i've fallen in love with baby signing. i began signing with boo a few weeks ago. i had never thought that babies and sign language could go together, but have recently learned that there is a phenomenon surrounding baby signing and i want in. one of the first signs recommended is MILK. as a mother of an exclusively breastfed baby, MILK is definitely in our vocabulary at home. i've been signing MILK before and during each nursing session. the goal is for boo to stop yelling/whining when she's hungry and sign instead. theres been progress: one afternoon i signed MILK, plopped boo down on the bed to feed her and noticed she needed a diaper change. instead of feeding her first, i started to change her diaper. boo promptly hollered at me and waved her little fist up and down as if to sign MILK!
