Kelly H. emailed this link to a great NY Times article about signing with your baby to help them learn to better communicate with you before their speech is fully developed. Interestingly enough, we had already received a copy of Baby Signs from my cousin Hedy as a gift, which is specifically referred to in this article. I'm glad we have so many friends and family interested in helping to stimulate Spencer's intellectual development. When Tracy was visiting last weekend, she skimmed through the book and instantly jumped on Amazon to send copies to her other doctor friends. I haven't read it cover to cover yet, but so far it is fascinating and we are eager to put it in practice.
