As of today, Benjamin can sign "milk" ...

I'd show him his bottle while doing the sign, and I wouldn't let him have the bottle until he signed back, which he did ... 3 times ... but not in front of his mother when she got home later!

Perverse child.

While he's doubled his ASL vocabulary ("more" and "milk" — unless waving hi and bye count as sign language), he's having somewhat less success with crawling. Tonight, I put him in the middle of the hall with a toy frog at one end and a toy duck at the other. He aimed himself toward the duck ... and crawled backward to the frog. He was very frustrated.
