Baby sign language

Hi Riley. You are quite the sign language queen. From the time you were about 6 months old, you were able to sign in order to communicate with us. As a new mommy, that was a blessing. I hated when I didn't know what you wanted, and signing actually helped. You initially learned sign language from the Baby Einstein First Signs dvd, then we added Wordsworth and Favorite Places. Kinder Care, your first daycare, also signed with you a bit. Primrose, your school in AL, did much more and enhanced your overall knowledge from just those words you learned from Baby Einstein. Here's a list of the words you can sign:
Mommy, Daddy, baby, milk, eat, please, thank you, help, more, tree, flower, red,
blue, purple, yellow, brown, black, pink, orange, cat, dog, lion, monkey,
elephant, mouse, star, cereal, ice cream, bowl, book, sleep, blanket, friend,
swing, ball, I love you, teddy bear, beautiful, snowman,
reindeer, Santa

They say learning sign language helps you to not only communicate with others but to use both sides of your brain. I hope you never stop using this gift.
