Sebastian signs "more"



Sebby did his first sign this week. One day at lunchtime he was crawling towards me, crying, and he kept sitting up and putting his hands together. At first I thought he was clapping, but then I realized he was saying "more." (I guess he's still working on discriminating between "more" and "eat.") Then, when I got his food out, he signed "more" every time I paused in my spooning. He seemed so happy and pleased with himself--he'd look at the food, then at me, then sign "more"--and break into a huge grin when it worked and I actually gave him more. It must be so empowering to suddenly be able to communicate like that. And it's a lot less noisy than his alternate method (yelling), too.
