It doesn’t feel like much in the moment 💛

They’re watching you
being part of what you’re doing

Then one day…
they start trying

And before you know it…
they’re doing it themselves

Not because you taught it like a lesson

But because they were included all along

What’s one thing your little one comes along with you for? 🥰

When you use these kinds of moments throughout your day…
you’re supporting your baby’s path to first words 💛

Repetition helps words stick
Gestures support understanding
And that pause…

That’s what gives your baby a chance to take a turn

With a reach
a body wiggle
or eventually… the action or the word

That’s communication.

Not later.
Right here.

Not sure where to start to support your baby’s communication?

Some books make this easier 💛

Repetition
predictable patterns
animal sounds
natural pauses

All of that creates opportunities for:

👉 attention
👉 turn-taking
👉 early communication

Little moments, add up 💛

Just discovered this one! Have you heard of it before?

Comment “SHEEP” and we’ll send you the link to the book 💛

Waving looks simple.

Just a “hi.”
Just a “bye.”

But it’s doing something much bigger 💛

Gestures like this are one of the ways babies start to understand that:

👉 actions have meaning
👉 they can use them to connect
👉 communication works

And that’s what words are built on.

Before a baby can say a word…

they learn:
👉 what it means
👉 how to use it
👉 that it gets a response

That’s what gestures are doing.

They’re not separate from speech — they’re building it.

Babies who use more gestures tend to build stronger vocabularies later.

And moments that help them grow?
They’re already happening in your day 💛

👉 Comment “GESTURES” and we’ll send you our free guide on why gestures matter, what to look for, and how to support them

Most babies go through a “banging phase.”

On the tray.
On the table.
On everything 😅

It’s loud.
It’s messy.
It’s… constant.

But it’s also an opportunity 💛

When your baby bangs…

👉 copy them
👉 add a simple word (“bang!” “boom!”)
👉 pause and wait

That pause creates a moment.

A moment where your baby can:
👉 look
👉 respond
👉 try to join in

That’s communication.

Not later.
Not when words come.

Right here.

And moments like this?

They’re what build into first words.

Most parents have never been shown what to do in these moments — or how important they really are.

Comment “ROUTINES” and we’ll send you exactly what to do in moments like this to build first words 💛

It looks small.

Just a “cheers.”

But look a little closer…

She watches me.
She looks at me then at the cups.
She copies me.
She says “cheers.”

And then… she starts it herself.

That’s not just a cute moment.

That’s communication 💛

These are the kinds of moments that build into more — more interaction, more sounds, more words.

💛 If you’ve ever wondered what actually counts as communication or what to do in moments like this… comment “MAGIC” and we’ll send you our free baby communication guide!

It can feel like one day your baby just starts doing something new.

Clapping.
Waving.
Reaching for you.

But those moments don’t come out of nowhere.

They’re built from all the times your baby watched you do it first…
the times you reacted…
the times you repeated it without even thinking.

That’s how communication begins.

And once you start to see it,
you can support it in a completely different way 💛

You don’t need new songs to build communication.

You just need to change how you use them 💛

When you pause in a familiar song…
you create a moment.

A moment where your baby:
👉 looks at you
👉 waits
👉 anticipates
👉 tries to join in

That’s communication.

It might sound like a squeal, a sound, a body bounce or a little “ah!”
(because yes… don’t forget to scream 😄)

But that back-and-forth?

That’s what words grow from.

So next time you sing “row, row, row your boat…”

Pause.

Wait.

And see what your baby does 💛

What song does your baby get excited for? 🥰

Want more fun songs to sing with your little one?

You don’t need to “teach” signs in a separate moment.

Use them during your day —
when you’re giving milk,
asking “more?”,
finishing a diaper change,
or helping your baby.

That’s what helps them connect the meaning 💛

They don’t need to copy right away…
they just need to see it, again and again.

💛 Do you use any of these?

Love,
Ilana (SLP) & Kellie (CDA)
