Did Ava just say more?

We have been working with Ava on sign language hoping she will be able to communicate to us her needs. She doesn't sign what she wants, but she's starting to understand the signs and words we use. When we sign and say milk she gets excited and then starts making her "I want it now" sound and face. When we sign and say more she looks at us and opens her mouth. We plan to continue working with her and hope within the next several months she will be able to sign a few things instead of screeching at us because we don't understand (here's to hoping with our fingers crossed).


Sometimes when we feed Ava I swear she is saying more. I usally do the sign, say more and she will make her "I want it now" sound, but every once in a while it sounds like she is saying more. Check out the video and tell me what you think.

I think I heard a more in there!!! That's so cool that you are teaching her sign language. It has helped both of our kids communicate with us better. I think Carter's 1st sign was "more" at 6 months.

It certainly sounds like it to me. We have been debating whether or not to start Ezra with a little sign language. I only know please, thank you, more, and milk. I think we will start him on some signing videos soon though. Hopefully his attention span will last.
