mimic

Ennio has started saying more words and is starting to mimic our words spontaneously. This morning I was showing him the tulips Boon got me for Valentine's Day, and I said they're lavender. When I sensed he was going to try to copy me, I said, purple. He then tried to say purple. So he's added another new word to his vocabulary. His pronunciation is still pretty off, but at least he is copying us and trying to say words.

He also loves to mimic the dogs. He crouches by their food bowls and smacks his lips. Then he goes to their water bowl and does the same thing. It's hilarious and super cute.

The other night Ennio talked in his sleep - said "yeah" a few times with intermittent cries because he was waking himself up with the talking. That same night he also starting laughin in his sleep.
