in other news, she has finally started using her signs! we've been signing "milk", "more" and "all done" for months now, without her ever demonstrating any comprehension of them. until - what do you know - she wanted some of her leftover birthday cake, stood beneath it perched on the countertop, and started doing all 3 signs at once! she is now signing "milk" whenever she wants something (i think she interprets it to mean "give me") and is using "more" in the appropriate context. when i say "all done" she prompty removes her bib. now i need to brush up on more signs to teach her so we can continue this communication breakthrough!
