Hannah is 15 months old now. When Heidi was 15 months old, I made a list of things she was saying/signing, so I thought I would do one for Hannah, too... Here it is:

*These are all of the words that I can think of that she tries to say right now. I guess I could be missing something, though.

Here are some signs she does:
mouse
cheese
bread
milk
cracker
dog
book
waves bye bye
puts her finger to her mough and makes "shh" sound
cookie
baby
fish
eat (1 finger to mouth)
bath
car
apple
play (she rotates her whole hand instead of using her pinky and thumb, but she does try)
*She does some other signs when she watches Signing Time, like goat, barn, rooster, and some others, but I'm not sure if she would remember them on her own or not yet.

Body Parts She Can Identify:
eye
nose
mouth
tongue
teeth
lips
cheek
eyebrow
ear
hair
chin
neck
elbow
leg
arm
tummy
bellybutton
fingers
toes
