I am looking into teaching my baby some basic sign language. Have any ideas about good books or cheap methods to use? I don't want a huge program, just simple stuff so I know what he wants…
mainly just basic signs so we can communicate before the baby can talk

I started teaching my daughter sign language when she was 3 months old. We used some cards I picked up at Wal-Mart for $1 and a Signing Time video I bought on E-bay (for abour $10). In less than a week, she understood many of the signs although it took her a little longer to get up the coordination to DO the signs!! Her favorite ones to begin with were milk, more, and mommy! She is 5 months now and recognizes over 40 signs. She's not deaf, but sign language is proven to up your baby's IQ if taught withing the first 3 years of life. Have fun!
