When babies start to sign they will approximate signs but you will definitely know what sign they are trying to tell you. The video below is Colby signing at 11 months. This is my instructors 8 month old signing "more" but Colby can't bend his fingers like that so you will see him in the video hitting his palms together for an approximation of "more". Now he bends his fingers on one hand and taps it against his open palm, so he is progressing to the correct sign. Don't ever correct a sign, just say great job while saying and signing the correct sign. They will get it on their own time and ability.

The sign for "dog" his slapping the thigh. Colby slaps his thigh sometimes but he usually slaps his tummy instead, I guess it's easier for him. Every time we go outside he loves to tell us that he hears the neighbors dog barking.
