I'd like to teach my son baby sign language.
Do any mommies have any good suggestions for websites/books about it?
Book/Website About Baby Sign Language?

I taught my now 3 1/2 year old sign language (at around 2 he knew close to 50 signs). I just used the asl website and did the "adult" signs and he would adapt them to his ability to do a sign. (Bottle was a clap, more was two fingers etc etc.)
We are also teaching our now 11 month old sign language and she knows more, milk, tired, all done and eat. Those really are the best ones to start with.
There is a good book out there that has 350 signs and you can track your baby's accomplishements of signing. You enter the date you first "show" them a sign, and then you can also enter the date that they first "do" the sign. It's called "The Baby Signing Book".

Definitely teach your son, it is a lot of fun, helps develop better language skills for when they start speaking, and decreases frustrations for both you and your baby (you don't have to try and guess what baby wants, and baby can get his wants/needs across to you)
Good luck!
