"All Done" and "More"

I thought I needed to follow that post with something a little lighter, so here you go! We taught Payton sign language as a baby for "all done" and "more". He did NOT catch on until AFTER he could say both. It must have something to do with his gigantic head... ;) Ryder, on the other hand, just caught on! He'll be 1 on Monday but his momma didn't birth a dummy I guess! Last night he was devouring chicken and rice and after the first helping was gone, I heard "mo! mo! mo!" accompanied by the sign for it! I said "do you want more?" and he just smiled like "She got it!!! she understands!" He started kicking his legs and feet as I got him more. After that 2nd helping, he did it again. I was so proud! Then, at his 3rd helping, he didn't finish it and I heard "duh! duh!" followed by the sign for "all done". The sign for "all done" is somewhat difficult for a child (think: "jazz-hands" but not) so we simplified it with a simple "wave" with his fingers. He's doing great! I'll post pics here soon!
