So we started showing Asher the videos at around 6 months. And we waited. And waited. And waited.
Look - doesn't it look like he's signing cat?! At only 8 months old!
He's not. He did not start understanding signs at 7 months. And he didn't start signing at 9 months. Or at 10 months. Or 11 months. Or... well you get the point. We had pretty much given up on him learning to sign.
It turns out we just had to wait long enough. Asher probably knows about 20 or so signs now. True they are all for words that he can also say, but considering that his pronounciation still needs some work it's still helpful that he can also sign the word.
And it does make for much better viewing than baby einstein, he jumps, he dances and he practices the signs. It's really very sweet.
Well, let's just say, he really love it. But then, maybe he just has a crush on Rachel.

Thanks for sharing this. That photo of Asher kissing the screen is adorable!
Kudos for keeping up the signing despite his delayed response!
