More info on teaching your baby to sign

Wikipedia has this to say about teaching your baby sign language:

"Children can begin to learn sign language at between six and eight months of age. At this age, a baby can hold a gaze for a couple of seconds. Teaching usually starts with three to five signs. Because speaking remains a goal, words are usually used along with the signs. Eye contact and emphasis on the word also help."
