A portrait of my babes once a week in 2015 (19 months)
Dabba dabba dabba (water). Rubbarubbarubba (rub, rub, rub).
You are talking; repeating every word after me and saying them in perfect context. You both say "kersie" when papa lights the candle for us at bedtime. Last night the moon was full but hidden by cloudy skies and Papa pointed it out to Anna while you waited for me to put Florence asleep. Anna says "maan! maan!" when she sees the moon.
Anna seems to learn a word first and then Florence copies you. Florence seems to imitate sounds rather than syllables - instead of saying "fine", you say "ine", but in the exact same tone that Anna says "fine." It is so fascinating to watch you learn, and learn in different ways: be it the way you sit down on your big fluffy balls, our how you cross your fingers (Anna just discovered she can do this this week and you are very proud of this new trick. Florence hasn't quite got it but she squeezes her fingers together tightly and looks up with pride at her accomplishment.)
Aah this is so sweet.Reminds me of Mila and Noah, where Mila would learn a word first and then Noah would repeat what his brother said. My fave was crocodile, Mila said the full word and Noah just said "dile"..same animal :)
