He glances at the screen before making gestures to illustrate it.

Abigail said it was ‘completely out of the blue’ when her son leaped to the rocking chair by the television on Saturday. 

She told the Metro: ‘He first started to learn to sign with baby sign, saying things such as milk, bath and nappy. 

‘He has picked up more and more sign language over time and he has become very natural.’ 

Both parents use British Sign Language and thought it was important for their son to learn it.
