mimic

About a week ago, Tyler started to mimic sounds that I made. For instance, I'd point to Daisy and say "Dog." He'd immediately follow with "Da....Da." I slowed my pronunciation down and said again, "Dawgah." This time he concentrated on the strong G sound and said "Gah." Alex didn't seem to believe me that Tyler was doing this until last night when I was holding Tyler in my arms in the kitchen. I pointed to Alex and said, "Hi Daddy." Immediately Tyler said "hi duh." I tried it again about a dozen times and each time Tyler directly repeated "ha da....hi duh."

Today Joy played with Tyler and was able to get him to mimic her hand movements. It was too cute watching him copy her clam clamp gesture.
