Mine is terrible at mimicking and rarely does it (which is nice for the concerned mom reading stuff from speech language pathologists on how mimicking is key to speech therapy and generally helping your kid learn language, let me tell you). She said her first word long before she ever mimicked one. Same with her first two word phrase. | |
