My 18 month old daughter is repeating just about everything you ask her to anymore. She has been talking a lot for awhile, but the number of new words she is picking up is amazing. It is like a little switch flipped in her brain and she is spitting them right back out. I can even get her to repeat after me counting to 10! Did your kids ever have a switch turn on in their brain and they just started talking up a storm?

That happens at this age. It wonderful to hear. With my daughter it increased her vocabulary too. I just had to be careful not to let too many colorful words slip out. lol

At Jack in the Box the other night I asked her what she wanted to eat and she said, "uh, French fries!" I asked her anything else and she replied, "uh, chicken, uh number 5!" It was too funny!

My daughter was a talker too and had a huge vocabulary before she hit 2. It was kinda all of a sudden but totally awesome. I love that they can talk and say things that is really when I started to see so much more of their personalities come out and blossom. I like to speak my mind and to hear them have their own voice and opinion is great. This is a great time to pull out the abc books LOL Have fun!

I don't have any kids, but i used to nanny my little brother. And one day he just started repeating every word I said! It was so weird. Now he just talks talks talks, mostly about nothing. Hahaha Its actually kind of cute. As much as my parents use the F word, he never picked up on it. In fact most curse words he doesn't say at all.
