The mocking stage begins

I’m beginning to realize all my free-spirited weirdness has to calm down a bit — after all I now have a 14-month-old who is learning to copy the actions of her parents. The latest one she does is she will hold things up to her ear and make quick noises like “Uh-Huh” or “Yeah” after seeing us talk on the phone. The list of things she puts to her ear has included sippy cups, remote controls, assorted toys and her play phone. Seeing this is a definite wake up call that daddy has to watch what he says and does in front of his daughter.
