Waylon has really started communicating with us now. He still only has a few words, but is signing like a mad man. I don't remember Byron signing quite as much. However, I think Byron probably had more words at this point. It's really hard to remember back and compare the two. That's probably a good thing.
It's really nice. I think it makes him so much happier if he can tell us what he wants or needs. Of course, 90% of the time it's a snack. He's mostly signing eat, apple, cracker, grapes, cookie or milk. Some of the other ones he's doing are sleep, doggie, fish, book, thank you, please, bath, car, more and all done.
In this vid he signs apple (finger on cheek) then more (hands together), then grapes (finger on top of hand) and all done (both hands waving).
Most nights, as soon as we finish dinner he starts signing bath. Then, after bath he starts signing bed. We usually try to keep him up until at least 7:30 so that he sleeps in a little longer in the morning. He really lets us know what he needs.
