Pocket

To sign pocket, take your dominant hand and form it into the ASL letter 'B' (thumb tucked in, four fingers stretched out and stuck together), but hold it upside down, palm facing you. Then make the motion of tucking that hand into an imaginary pocket in your pants, in your shirt, or wherever you want to show your baby that you actually have a pocket.
