First Sign: La luz (light)

At 8 months, Rafael makes the sign for "la luz" (light).

He initiates it to show me what he sees!

In this video he is pointing to the light with his right hand and signing with his left.

Signs and Words

New words in English! I've only been listening for the Spanish words, but Rafael insists that we drive in the "car" and that he plays with a "ball". Playtime with Auntie Laura, Auntie Caitlin, and Grammy Nancy is working!
