By George, I think he's got it...well, maybe

I think Quinn has started signing the word "eat." Tell me what you think about this:

While Ben and I were eating dinner last night, Quinn was playing on the floor in front of us (Yes, we eat dinner at the coffee table in front of the tv. I know. It's an awful habit!) Out of nowhere, Quinn sits himself up facing me and signs "eat." I wasn't quite sure if that was what he was actually doing. But I thought it would be a good idea to play along. So I asked him if he wanted to eat (all while signing). He sat there for a moment...then signed again. So Ben put Q in the highchair and fed him some applesauce.

While changing Quinn's diaper this morning after he woke up, he signed "eat" again! We acted out the same scenario as the night before. So I immediately took him downstairs and fed him breakfast.

I'm interested to see if he does it again today!

I learned to sign "please" and "more". I'm sure that's what he's doing. He's a smart cookie like me!

Q's a very bright little boy. Sounds like he knows what's important. EAT!
Once he can coordinate both hands MORE will come really soon :) And when they can sign it, their brain is working hard to say it!
You and Ben are doing great at enforcing the signs. Quinn will be a pro at signing in no time.
