more

mom and dad have been teaching me some basic sign language since i was born. one they use often is "more." especially when i am eating and i would like some more to eat...they often use the sign while they say it and give me more food.

just last wednesday i signed it back to them for the first time. dad was eating a banana and sharing some with me. i wanted some more and i told him by signing. let me tell you, both mom and dad were very impressed and proud of me. ever since then i am signing it pretty much at every meal.

i also sign more while i am playing with my toys. today mom and i were playing and i wanted her to push this toy down over and over again so i kept signing more to her. and she kept doing it. it's really great to be able to communicate with mom and dad before i can actually talk!


this is the sign for more. i haven't quite perfected it yet...mine looks more like a clap at this point. but because of the situations i use it in,they can definitely tell what i mean.
