Michael Signs "Milk"

When Michael was born, I thought it would be a great idea to teach him sign language so that we can communicate earlier, before he actually has the ability to speak. With help from a Baby Einstein DVD, I've been showing him basic signs for things he would want or need. I haven't been totally consistent with using all the signs, but the one sign I have been consistent in using is the sign for "milk."
This is what the sign looks like:






This whole time, I thought that Michael wasn't even paying attention to my signing, but he totally surprised me this week when I saw that it was time for him to have a bottle, so I asked him if he wanted some milk, and he started signing "milk!"

Here he is: (Please excuse the mess on my counter. We had just gotten home from Target, and we were about to embark on a baking project, which I will post about later...)
