Blog About Beckett: "More" pictures

Most of you know that Chris and I have been signing to Beckett for a few months now. Nothing major- just basic things like food, sleep, dirty diaper, all done and more. We've tried to do it with regularity and the main reason is to help Beckett communicate his needs to us before he is able to voice them (beyond screeching). He has always watched us sign to him but until recently had yet to sign back. Then one day last week when I was feeding him dinner he made the sign for 'more'. Totally unprovoked. He just put his fingers together in a perfect version of the sign. He did it several times for both Chris and I and has continued to do it since so we consider this a great breakthrough! Hopefully he will continue to sign to us and we can really begin two way communication!
