These days Lev is communicating an amazing amount with sign language. He can answer yes and no questions correctly, or at least plausibly, and knows the difference between an open-ended question and a yes/no. This makes things a lot of fun because I can ask him if he wants cheese or if he wants a diaper change and he tells me. He is signing "eat," "more," "all done," "monkey (maymun)," "fish (balik)," and "champion (sampyon)." I got him to do "cat" a few times too. Plus he claps for himself when he does something good, like stacking blocks. He says "mama" which means food in Turkish and always signs "eat" along with it. He also started making motor sounds when he drives his cars, trains, or boats around. He still makes up lots of games and has started putting his toys in the rocking chair and rocking them. He can rock himself too.
And he got all 4 of his first molars, for a total of 12 teeth in his head!
