Mr. P's Favorites: Signs

At about 9 months, when Mr. P began waving hello we started focusing on introducing "baby sign language." We've got a DVD and tons of books with examples of babies signing. But, Mr. P didn't really seem to show interest, so we I slacked off. He always really liked looking at those books though, which I assumed was because they're loaded with pictures of babies. Then, all of a sudden at about 10-11 months old, we were reading one of the baby sign language books and out of no where he started doing them! Since then, he's slowly been adding to his "vocabulary."

Some of his favorites include:

Fish (Have I mentioned, he's obsessed with Finding Nemo?)
Dog
Kitty
Ball
Baby
Light
Bunny/Flower (they're the same sign)
Bath time
Brush teeth/toothbrush
More
Hot
Shhh!
Ice Cream
All done (not perfected yet, but getting there!)

He's just starting to do these now:
Thank you
Banana
Apple

On a related note, he's also blowing kisses, giving high fives, clinking glasses (like when you toast) and giving fist pound explosions, including the sound effect. Of course, the last one is all thanks to HH and it's the cutest thing ever! Now HH is trying to teach him 'noggin' which consists of them bumping heads. Sounds dangerous to me...
