Though we started signing with Lila when she was about 6 months old, she never really showed an interest in reciprocating until after her first birthday. These days, she's as quick to pick up new words as she is signs, but the signing still offers a valuable form of communication, since she's not yet able to speak in sentences. At the park yesterday, after consuming the last 1/3 or so of my Kashi bar, she casually asked for "more." This has become, by far, her favorite sign, used to ask for everything from a second helping of breakfast to [yet] another read of her favorite book as well as a repetition of any silly act performed by Mommy or Daddy. Just call her the Puppet Master.
