Oh, be careful little mouth what you say.

At 15 months now (wow, how time flies!) Aria is at the age where she LOVES to imitate sounds she hears us make. She says things like "Cookie, mama, da, grrr, baby, buhbye and hi!" and other noises which sound like words, but I can't confirm for sure if she knows exactly what she's saying (a prime example of this is when Josh and my in-laws swear she said "go away!" to Josh after he'd been tickling her.)

She frequently imitates our vocal inflections, which can be hilarious. Her favorite comes up when we're reading her "barnyard friends" book, and we got to the rooster, who says "Cock-a-Doodle-Doo!" She just smile and tries so hard to say it.

She also is imitating our actions now; when she gets ahold of my phone, she holds it between her shoulder and ear, like I do when my hands are busy, and chats away. She'll also hold the remote up and push buttons, as if she's changing the channel (which she actually does on occasion.) She loves banging on the keyboard - both the computer and piano. She also has been trying desperately hard to drink out of a "big people" cup, but hasn't figured out yet that she has to tip it up to actually get something in her mouth.

Josh and I are now really having to take into consideration what we say now, because what comes out of our mouths will shortly be coming out of hers...
