Baby Signing

Joe and I strongly believe in baby signing.  It is our desire to find out what is going on in Bethany's mind. Questions like: What does she need? What does she want? What does she observe? What does she remember?
I read it from somewhere that It is a fact that infants develop the fine muscles in their hands before they develop those required for speech, so they’re equipped to communicate with you before they can speak.
We have registered Bethany for Baby Signing Class starting next Monday for a duration of 4 weeks.  At the same time, we have been signing with Bethany for almost a month now... signs like: eat, drink, milk, juice, all finished, more, mom, dad, grandma, grandpa, cat, dog, bird, horse, frog, diaper, potty etc.  We did not really expect Bethany to sign back until she is like 10 months old.
Last sunday, we were out for brunch after church, and I was feeding Bethany yogurt... and all of a sudden, she signed "more" and "eat"!
