Jacob's Signs

Jacob continues to love Baby Signing time and he has been using many signs consistently:

Baby, Dog, Cracker, Cereal, More, All Done, Hungry, Eat, Food, Drink, Milk, Water, Daddy, Mommy, New, Bear, Up, Down, Share, In, Bath, Toothbrush, Tree, Moon, Again, Banana, Music, Car, Airplane, Horse, Bug, Friend, Diaper, Book, Write, Happy, Sad, Hat, Help, Wait, Grass, Day, Thank You, Sorry, Outside, Wind, Moon, Hot, and shoes.

He has also made up signs to indicate his favorite songs: If You are Happy and You Know it Clap Your Hands and Head and Shoulders, Knees and Toes.

Words spoken: Da Da.

Every day he is learning more signs and he has probably picked up more than we have realized. I have taken the first level of American Sign Language class through Galeston Brazoria Coop for the Hearing Impaired. This is the same organization that has provided one on one help for Matthew and now his preschool classes. Jacob meets weekly with Ms. JoAnn. She has been doing a wonderful job showing Jacob how to express himself and listen for important sounds. Even though Jacob is a little delayed in his speech it is obvious that he is making progress week by week.
