Sorry for the late reply aeh. She uses her mouth a lot, but not for conversation
She'll narrate her imaginative play, make up songs, bark out orders to the rest of the family, commentate her own soccer games, and sometimes just make random noises for the sake of making noise, but she really doesn't chat much.
I think you're probably right, that she's exploring and learning through her active play. I just thought the lack of questions was odd. I guess the other thing I'm not considering here is that she just started school in a foreign language, so her brain might be busy learning the new language and the questioning phase might come later for her.
