Often, Tessa imitates Dusty in how he is standing, what he's doing with his hands, etc. This is how it looks when he goes to look at a dhow boat on the lake or search for an airplane flying overhead. I'm constantly amused when I watch her imitating him, and he doesn't even realize it.When I was 9 months pregnant with Jack, she used to shuffle around the floor with her head thrown back, back arched and arms out to the side. It took me a while to realize what she was doing. Even now, if we say "walk like Mama," she does the prego-shuffle. Hilarious! Did I really walk like that?
She also imitates Jack's movements and noises. But I think it's more to get attention and to remind us that she's still our baby too.
Now if I can only get her to imitate perfect Swahili, and then teach me!

Katherine is also and imitator. Tonight I laid on the floor and she laid beside me. She has been carrying a phone to her ear and strolling around with any kind of bag over her shoulder for a long time. They watch our every move which is such a challenge to make sure all of my actions are worth imitation.
