Communication through signs

We've been working for a while on using sign language to help Lily and Addison build a vocabulary for communication. They both are doing quite well. Following is a video of them making some of the signs they know. No criticism please...we are not adhering to American Sign Language. We are just using what works for us. Here's a description of the signs in the video:

Dog - panting like a dog
Frog - sticking your tongue in and out like a frog (in the video I say Pig, but Lily knew I was looking for frog somehow!)
Cereal - hold your index finger out and motion it up and down across your face
More - touch all of your fingers together a couple of times
Please - rub one hand up and down your chest
Monkey - arms up under your underarms like a monkey would do
Daddy - put your hand to your temple with your thumb touching your temple (like you are trying to make one moose antler)
Eat - put your hand to your mouth like you are putting something in it
Book - palms together, then open like a book
All done or finished - hands together then down and out like you are dropping something
Cat - pinch with the index finger and thumb at your cheeks and go out like stroking a cat's whiskers
Mouse - hands up to your nose and pretend like you are rubbing your nose as a mouse might
Corn - hands at the side of you mouth like you are holding a piece of corn on the cob and twist your hands like you are eating it
Play - hands in a partial fist with pinky and thumb sticking out and shake your hands
Kiss - kiss the fingers of one hand then put them together with the fingers of the other hand (looks a lot like more)
Rabbit/bunny/jump - index and middle finger of one hand "jumping" on the palm of the other
Ball - tips of all fingers coming together like holding a ball
Giraffe - grasp hands together and lift them up over your head like following the giraffe's long neck
Bed - head on the palm of a hand and tilt your head over
Baby - arms crossed and move your arms like you are cradling a baby in your arms
Bird - index finger and middle finger touching the thumb like imitating a bird opening and closing its beak
Milk - not demonstrated in the video, but it is clasping and unclasping the hand like milking a cow.

Enjoy!
