Deaf Father Signs to His Deaf Baby in Hospital to Tell Her He Loves Her

Baby Arrow was born a preemie in Orlando, Florida, into a family where American Sign Language (ASL) is the primary mode of communication as her dad is deaf as well.

Mom Teresa said, “ASL is vital for deaf babies and, lucky for our little squish, she was born deaf into a home where ASL is the primary language. She won’t have the struggles to communicate within her own family as her Daddy did.” She is the answer to their prayers as, after battling years of infertility, God blessed them with a beautiful baby girl.

This beautiful clip shows how her father uses sign language to communicate with her in the hospital, telling her how beautiful she is, how pretty her green eyes are, and letting her know he is “Daddy” and loves her so much.

It is never too early to start signing to your baby, even if she is a micropreemie. This deaf dad is signing to his deaf daughter, telling her who he is, and what a beautiful baby she is, with her bright green eyes. Watch baby Arrow’s eyes and how she’s attentively listening to daddy telling her how much he loves her. #whyisign #askmewhyisign

Verse of the Day

“And they came with haste and found Mary and Joseph, and the Babe lying in a manger. Now when they had seen Him, they made widely known the saying which was told them concerning this Child. And all those who heard it marveled at those things which were told them by the shepherds. But Mary kept all these things and pondered them in her heart. Then the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things that they had heard and seen, as it was told them.”
