| Thanks
very much to Silve for sending in her baby sign story regarding
her son Hamish. "Hi Jackie, great to
read that so many people are interested in baby sign.
In my case i need to stay one step ahead of my little
man, who i can't believe is turning one next week. We have
been signing with him since he was 9 weeks old. At seven
weeks old we found out that he had a severe hearing loss
in both ears, so being the pro active parents that we are
we started right away.
We have taught ourselves through dvd's and books. We
also joined a playgroup with deaf children and have had
fantastic support through Auroa.
Hamish signs many signs now, Morning, Mummy, more,
finished, milk, bye/hello, blows kiss, bath and really trying
to babble with signs also. He has this week started on changing
the shapes of his fingers when babbling sign and smiles
when he does."
"It is amazing how he communicates with us before
even having language to use. Good luck to everyone who takes
on this challenge, i have found it extremely rewarding.
And I believe that my child has too".
