Understand your baby before they can talk!

Ethan was an early talker. Once he said his first word (ball) it was as if something *clicked* in his mind and his vocabulary took off. And he hasn't stopped talking since (as in the kid is NEVER quiet)!

Aiden on the other hand...we wondered if he was ever going to talk. He babbled and cooed all the time, but the language development came at a much slower pace. It was hard not to compare him to his brother - and then we had Aiden's Apert Syndrome diagnosis that made things even more confusing. Was he developmentally delayed because something was wrong with his brain? Or was he simply developing at a different, but normal, pace?

When Aiden was an infant, he qualified for physical, developmental and occupational therapy. As he got older, I pushed for speech therapy as well, even though his delays were not significant for his age, and I'm so glad that I did. That is when we were introduced to baby sign language. Both Aiden and Ethan caught on to it very quickly, signing the basic words like "more", "thirsty", "hungry". It was so refreshing to finally be able to understand their grunts and whines when they didn't yet have the skills to verbalize appropriately - and they too seemed less frustrated.

Eventually, Aiden's speech took off as well (YAY) and the signing slowly faded. But I know that many of my friends have little ones that are at the perfect age to start learning these very useful communication skills, so I had to share this AWESOME deal:
