New Feature!

I have decided that since our signing could use a little help- (we know a bunch of signs but only use a few of them really) that each week I will post a new sign, teach it to Zoe, and report back on how she is doing with it. I think it will benefit both of us- so here goes nothing! First, I would like to go over some of the signs Zoe does know, and ask for suggestions to what the weekly sign should be, based on her age and necessities- (she doesn't need to know the sign for "beer" yet.) Thank you in advance for helping me out!

Zoe knows:
-Eat (of course...)
-Cup
-More
-Daddy/Grandpa
-Mommy/Grandma
-Cookie
-Milk
-Cracker (A favorite joke in our house)
-Ball
-Baby
-Doggie
-Kitty
-Chicken

Zoe actually verbalizes the following:
-Mama
-Dada
-Eesha (my sister's name is Alesha- apparently it is now everyone else's name, too)
-What's that? (sounds more like Wassat?)
-Yea/Yes
-Eye
-Nose
-Mouth (sounds more like "Mow", as in rhyming with "Cow")

There may be a few more, but those are the most i can think of. She does a lot of pointing, which her developmental specialist has no beef with- she says it is a healthy form of communicating her needs to us, even though we are working towards more signs and speaking words. So, what do you think she should learn next?
