advanced

Actually, Mia is far from advanced verbally. Probably pretty average I would guess. But, a few of the words she repeats regularly are certainly not typical 19-month-old words. Unless that 19-month-old has a 4-year-old sibling that is. Of course Henry hates it when she repeats back, "why, why, why, why, why." Maybe he is getting a sense of how we feel. Also favorites are, "no, no, no, no, no, no, no" and my all time favorite to date, "puhhhleeeeease, puhhhleeeeease, puhhhleeeeease, puhhhleeeeease."
