two languages
My parents and my aunt got a kick out of the fact that Elijah understood two languages. They would ask me to say something to him in Russian, and then they would want Ryan to say the same thing in English, and each time they would be thrilled to see that Elijah responded the same way. For example, I'd ask him if he wanted more of something, and he'd sign "more". Then Ryan would ask the same thing, and he'd sign "more" again. At one point my Dad started saying Elijah's name in English and was amazed to see that he turned around and looked up at him. He did it over and over again, and Elijah kept turning around each time.
