Berkley Mae. Is a piece of work. We've been working on baby sign language since she was 6 months old. Most babies I know start signing back between 8-10 months. One of the first ones you usually start with is "more" which is signed by putting the tips of your fingers together, kind of a clapping motion, hopefully that makes sense.
Anyway, she has taken to closing her eyes and screaming when she is mad about something. It is really funny to us because its so fake. Whenever she's eating and I know she wants more I sign "more" to her. She will either completely ignore it or if she's in a bad mood she'll close her eyes and scream. Another method for getting them to learn it is helping them sign it. She used to let me help her. Now she just clenches her arms when I try to bring them together, or yesterday she threw herself back in the highchair and put her arms up on either side of her head. Priceless. All of this tells me that she totally understand what "more" is and how to do it, she is just not going to. She also refuses to wave. Such a stubborn little baby!
Here is a short video of her eye scrunch and scream. She was in a paticularly bad mood, so it is followed by a little crying. I've been trying to catch her fake cry forever though so here it is.

Great job getting the cry on video! It was great seeing you guys the other day, and I'm so glad B let me hold her a little.
Wow! Great screaming Berkley...very realistic!
