I read your post as "cute sinGing baby" and was very disappointed.

wow, good finger-signing skills at "kiwi" actually even though mom isn't that impressed yet.

My sister did this with my niece and it worked really well. No idea whether it's a new thing or not, but it does really help young children communicate before they've started talking.

The children of two of my friends used a couple of signs to communicate before they were verbal -- mainly water, milk, eat and more. The parents didn't try to go much further than that, but wow, the kid in that video shows just how much more they could have.

My sister used a lot of pointing so that my niece could indicate what she was interested in, where she wanted to go and so on. It worked really well.
