I have decided that I am going to create a home video discussing some of my research findings as well as demonstrating some of the signs in baby sign language. I feel that a video will help me most in the future. My son is too young to really comprehend baby sign language right now. However, if I make a video of what I feel is important, I will be able to use it at a later date when he is ready to learn. The information I am going to put in the video is important to me because I truly feel it will help ease some of the frustration in communication between my son and me. I am obviously not licensed to teach baby sign language, however I may share the information with some of my friends who are also experiencing some of the same feelings I am.

A video is a terrific idea. I think even though your son is young, you can still start implementing the signs in your every day routines. It will be more like teaching yourself until using the signs becomes second nature. Eat, diaper, sleep, etc. when you say these words, simultaneously signing them will help him eventually identify with the signs.
Great project work. :)
The video sounds like a great idea. It will be a very effective way to share it with others. Being a mom is a challenge; but you've shown you're willing to keep searching until you find tools to help with the challenge.
Some topics are easier to narrow down than others, but you've been very descriptive about your experiences in this research process. As you've commented, it illustrates Kuhlthau's ISP model as you've gone from prefocus exploration to search closure, and feelings of relief at knowing what your focus perspective is! I agree, great project work.
