I talk to my baby all the time. I also use baby signs which are great. She tells me when she is sleepy, when she is hungry and thirsty by her signs she make. We have payed close attention to see the signs she makes up for the things she wants as well as made our own for her. She has made her own signs for when she wants to sleep and when she is thirsty. We started using signs with her only at a few months old and she picked them up pretty quickly.

I talked to my baby(ies)continously. From the time they were in my stomache to now. I would hold conversation with them at feeding time especially when their eyes are focused on you and just waiting for you to talk to them. I sing to them all the time. Now my youngest she talks up a storm. But I communicated with my children all the time even when they we're sleeping. Reading is the best commuciation to me especially when their sleeping or on the way to sleep.

Babies learn through communication, and his smile and laughter is a response. Eventually, he will learn what those words mean. Baby sign language is also a great way to communicate, because they learn to use their hands before they can say words that we understand. And even before they can "speak" with signs, they definately understand. I started with my daughter right away, and she definately understood what "milk" meant (also the first sign she used). Our home is bilingual also (trilingual if you count signs, lol), so she is learning English and Spanish at the same time. You should definately interact by talking, singing and playing. Not only will this help his communication skills, it will also help him develop social skills. Like I mentioned before, he is responding when he smiles and laughs, don't ignore his physical reactions. And before you know it, he will start babbling, then creating words only the two of you understand and eventually talking.

that is called mother instinct! we can understand how they feel or what they will because it's very obvious that they come from within. have you ever wonder when you feel uncomfortable and you think fast that somethings happen to your baby, that's the mother instinct. they are attach to us that's why we worry all the time because of the magic of love. :)
