I just have to say, I'm a huge fan. If you're thinking about trying, do it! It couldn't be easier! I tried implementing a few signs with Eva when she turned 6 months old. The only one she really picked up in the first month or two was "all done," which we did every time she was done eating in her high chair, and anywhere else if it ever applied.
I also tried teaching her "more," "hungry/eat," and "thirsty/drink." She didn't really seem interested in any of these until she turned one year old. But then it happened so fast and so easily! She seemed to have caught on overnight, and was suddenly able to tell me if she was thirsty, hungry, or wanted more of something. It is AMAZING! To this day I am still impressed, not to mention little chubby baby hands making signs are the cutest thing you ever did see.
Granted, she would still be able to communicate with me and I'd be able to figure out what she wants most of the time, but there are those times when she's just walking around the house being her busy little self, and she'll sign to me that she's thirsty out of nowhere. I love it! So teach your baby sign language already!
The end.
Now here's a blurry picture I'm going to send to the GAP for her baby modeling show.
