Baby Sign Language

I have been fascinated with baby sign language and its benefits for a long time.  

There are a lot of articles citing the positives about using sign language with your child before they can fully talk, which allows them to communicate easier (along with following their cues).  It is shown to increase their spoken, and eventually written (reading) vocabulary.

I definitely plan on using these with Isabella- funny: Matt and I are already doing these signs occasionally with her now and we just laugh at each other, but I know that it will eventually pay off!

Websites:::
Parents Magazine several articles about various types of words

Baby Sign Language 

Baby Sign Language Dictionary  


Articles:::
Journal of Nonverbal Behavior

Q&A Question on Sign Language Negatives 

These are a few of the resources I have used- there are TONS of other sites out there!  I will post more updates as we go along and teach her more signs.  I hope you enjoy reading more about this unique way of communicating with Isabella! :)  Be Blessed~
