In the beginning we used a lot of PEC pictures for communication.

Eat - motion of hand up to mouth
drink - open hand on side of cheek (almost as if your drinking)
please - rub belly in clockwise motion
daddy - thumb out and fingers up, put thumb up at forehead
mommy same thing with hand but on chin

It took awhile, but eventually the signs came quickly.

I have a copy of how to perform the signs from his school....I can send them to you if you'd like.

HTH.

thank you for the advice - i can look them up on the asl dictionary if they are the same signs

i'll teach him those that you've shared and see how it goes.

i taught my ds a bunch of signs and at 2 he still uses then even though he can hold conversations.

they have a bunch of websites where it shows you a clip of the sign and i found that more helpful than my dictionary.

here's one link but there are better ones if u google it

we did the ones you are already doing plus:
mommy & daddy
milk
water
food
fruit
all done
book
toy
music
park
sleep
diaper change
and some others that aren't as useful
