Sign Language

We've been signing to Turner for the past couple of months now. On Saturday he took me by complete surprise when he signed milk to me.

"Are you asking me for what I think your asking me for?" I said. Luckily I was warming his bottle. So I went into the kitchen grabbed the bottle and showed him what he was asking for. "Milk?" I held the bottle up as I was signing. He signed back to me again. I was so excited that I put the bottle down and picked him while praising him. "Good boy! You are so smart!" I said happily. Turner replied with a loud whine as he focused on the bottle sitting on the coffee table. "Oh yeah...You want milk"
