Signing? Or Mom's wishful thinking?...

I have been trying to teach Nicholas sign language. From everything that I have read apparently infants are able to understand language, they just are not able to speak until they are older. Therefore, they recommend that you try teaching your infant sign language so that they are able to communicate with you before they are able to speak.

So... I have been trying to teach Nicholas "milk" (which is to open and close your fist like you are milking a cow). For the first time the other day (two days ago), Nick did what looked like his attempt at the sign. He closed his fist at Dad and then started chewing on Dad's hand further indicating that he was hungry. Is this the start of us being able to communicate with Nicholas? Only time will tell.
