I can't talk to the withdrawl of love issue, which is serious... but about the language... We did signing with our twins and they had about 40 or so signing words by a year. They started talking verbally a lot around 14 months or so...

Ecco boots are fairly flexible and warm. But they aren't kind of pricey.
