It’s time for the Pregnancy, Babies and Children’s Expo to come to Melbourne again at the Melbourne Exhibition Centre from the 22nd – 24th of October.

I’ll be there for the whole weekend along with our Whitehorse Baby Sign Language Teacher Amanda and would love to see you if you are popping along.

We’ll also be having a great competition where you can enter to win a free Baby Sign Class run by Amanda.

You can get a free ticket for the show (more…)

I wanted to personally introduce another new addition to the Baby Hands family.

Karina Cover, who is our baby sign language teacher in Albany in WA, last month welcomed a new addition to her family. Her daughter, Jacinta Maree Cove, was born on Wednesday 22nd September.

She weighed 4.130kgs (or 9lb 2oz) and was 52cm long.

Jacinta & mum are doing well and (more…)

Today is a very exciting day as Baby Hands Classes have gone national with our newest teacher, Yuki, teaching baby sign classes on the Sunshine Coast.

While we don’t have any classes in Canberra at the moment or in the Northern Territory I’m told that a company is “officially” deemed national in Australia once they cover NSW, QLD, SA, VIC and WA so for me that’s cause enough for celebration (more…)

We had a wonderful and very busy weekend at the Sydney Baby and Toddler show meeting so many of you it was definitely one of our best shows yet so I just wanted to thank everyone who took the time to come by and say hello.

It really makes my day hearing all your stories and getting out to these shows gives me such a great opportunity to meet you and your babies.

At this weekends show I gave a talk each morning on baby sign language and how you can incorporate it into your home.

Definitely one of the funniest parts of my talk is the clip for Meet the Fockers where Grandpa Jack shows of his Grandson Jacks signing skill.

This manages to raise a smile everytime I play it

Plus we got some great news for the Baby and Toddler Show organisers that they are expanding into Brisbane and Perth so we’ll be along to see you in your city soon.

With a baby sign teacher in almost every state and a new one coming very soon Australian Baby Hands has grown from my very small vision over 6 years ago and a dream to help parents and babies to communicate using Auslan baby sign.

I couldn’t have done this without the help of so many good people and of course all of you so I hope to see more of you at the future shows around Australia very soon.
