It's never to late to start signing.

Baby signing is very popular these days and promotes early communication. It's suggested that parents can start teaching their infants signs as early as eight months, but I'm not on the ball so I only started recently with Ben. The advantage to starting late is they learn very very quickly.

With persistance Ben has learned a new sign in a few days. We only have a couple of signs down pat right now: "eat" and "more". So far he's only used the "more" sign when he's run out of raisins, grapes, strawberries, or syrupy-sweet medicine (of course we don't give him more medicine -- unless we want him to go to sleep -- of course I'm kidding.) He's never asked for more fish or vegetables though... big surprise!
