Created specifically for babies as young as 3 months old up to 3 years, yet fun for the whole family! Features host Rachel Coleman, along with animated Baby Alex, Baby Leah, and Baby Hopkins. Baby Signing Time Volume 2 sets your baby’s day to music as you learn signs for everyday events in baby’s life: getting dressed, traveling, being polite, getting ready for bed, and more.

One review By Rochelle Lockard states: 20+ Signs in One Month My 16 month old daughter LOVES this video! I had bought volumes 1 & 2 in October 2007 she was 13months after one month she was signing over 20 different signs that she learned in the video. Now she is requesting to watch it all the time baby doing the sign for baby signing time. It is so wonderful to be able to communicate with her and understand what she has to say through signing. I am a teacher and I have also incorporated the signs that I had learned in the video with my class and they too love signing. Thank you so much for this video our whole family loves it.

We’re happy to present to you our “Sign of the Week”,  a new regular feature on this blog!

Parents and educators have frequently asked us to share just one sign that they can work on each week. Now ANYONE can have fun learning ASL signs with Rachel, Alex, and Leah by simply subscribing to this blog.

Feel free to spread the word!

Beginning this week, every Tuesday in 2010, we’ll post a video clip that teaches one ASL sign from Signing Time or Baby Signing Time. You’ll also be able to download and print the corresponding Flash Card image.

We hope you will enjoy this new weekly feature in our efforts to share Signing Time and ASL with families everywhere.

In some ways it was a simple rendition of the reality-TV show Survivor – Emilie and I had an early alliance. We had to, you see; in a family of nine kids, there were ongoing battles with the other siblings, and even though it seemed that it might be easier at times to join forces with the stronger ones, Emilie and I instinctively stuck together.

I was good at flying under the radar.  Emilie was not.

Believe it or not, I was the “shy” and “quiet” one.  I didn’t want attention, and I would duck and seek cover from any potential limelight. Emilie, however, was “outgoing” and “motivated.”  She loved attention and I could always count on her to volunteer for every speaking opportunity or solo music performance that came within arm’s reach.
