Braxton's Words

When I was in college I had to do some observing at a daycare. This peticular one I went to was using sign language in the one to two-year-old class. I was amazed at what they could communicate at a young age and knew when I had my children I wanted to use signs. While the idea has become quite popular I have not done this to be a trend follower. Having said that Braxton was exposed to sign a little bit in his first year, but mostly looked at me like I was an idiot. In the last four months or so his verbal language as well as signs have really developed. While he chatters about who knows what all the time he does have some verbal words as well as some signs. This is what Kent and I came up with as we cataloged his words.

Verbal: Mom, Dad, No, Yes, Stacey, Cheese, Truck, Dump Truck, Duck, Kitty, Horse, Banana, Juice, Jessica, Snack (for fruit snack)

Signing: Please, Thank you, More, Milk, Water, Cracker, Cookie, Cheese, Banana, Eat.

(He's made up his own communication for these words in sign)
