A two-month-old baby tells her deaf mum when she is hungry — using the Sign Language for milk. Parents Dave Hollings, 46, and Chantelle De La Croix, 37, first thought it was coincidence when baby Ivy clenched her fist, shook it and moved it towards her mouth. But Ivy performed the same action again the next day when she was hungry and has been doing it ever since.
The sign for milk is a shaking clenched fist with the thumb and little finger out.
Dave, of Darwen, Lancs, said: "We thought it was a coincidence that she was hungry but other people have spotted it. "We looked up when babies can start signing and the earliest we have found is three months. We are really proud."

£20K of fish and chips saved my life
Every morning, Cypriot-born Ermis and Androniki Nicholas catch two buses to Weston-super-Mare from their home and enjoy a stroll along the promenade. They enjoy a fish and chip lunch before walking along the sea front, then start their journey home at 4.30pm. They started visiting the resort in 1998 when Ermis, 71, suffered a near fatal heart attack and doctors advised him to take a daily walk.
Over the last decade the couple have visited Weston-super-Mare 2,600 times, covered 156,000 miles and spent around £18,200 on fish and chips. Mr Nicholas, a former restaurant owner, said: "We love visiting Weston, it's a wonderful place but it has got to the point where it has become a bit of an addiction." But it's only because we enjoy going there so much. We've have made some fantastic friends over the years who have become like a second family to us. Everyone is so friendly, I think it is the best place in the world."

Man buys New Chevy Pickup with Change
An Ohio man with a hatred of paper money slapped down $8,000 in coins at a car dealership to buy a Chevrolet pickup then paid the rest by check.
James Jones, 70, produced 16 coffee cans full of coins to buy his new Chevrolet Silverado in Cincinnati and staff spent 90 minutes counting it.
But his coin hoard only covered half of the $16,000 price tag.

India's 'fragrant' rubbish dumps
Authorities in the western Indian city of Mumbai (Bombay) have been dousing rubbish dumps with perfume to lessen the putrid stench.
Municipal workers have been spraying two landfills in the city with herbal perfume for the last six months after residents complained of the stink.
Locals say perfuming the rubbish has lessened the stench. Environmentalists say it is an unsustainable solution.
Mumbai has a population of nearly 18 million, and generates 8,500 metric tonnes of rubbish every day. Nearly 500,000 people live near rubbish landfills.
Officials say that the stench from the landfills in Deonar and Mulund was so great that local residents started protesting.
So the authorities hit upon the novel idea of dousing the landfills with perfume to kill the stench.
A herbal perfume diluted with water is sprayed over the landfills almost every day.
The perfume costs $114,000 for 42,000 liters, which is required to "perfume" the landfills for between six to eight months.
