Our little goof balls are the definition of "monkey see, monkey do". Typically, Silas will start doing something and then Zoe will copy him, but it definitely goes both ways. It started at some point this summer, and it has become a hilarious and annoying dynamic between the two of them. And yes, these are the same tupperware bowls that have been providing entertainment since August :)
They recently figured out they can use the toy bins for this same effect.
And sometimes it's silly. Silas likes to chew on a soft cloth when he's tired.
Of course Zoe started doing it too. She will shove any stupid thing in her mouth and walk around with it, but she doesn't get the pleasure and comfort out of doing it that Silas does. Here she is with a bib that she pulled out of the laundry basket.
And sometimes I want to strangle them. One starts getting into something they shouldn't and the other automatically follows. The stove is the perfect example. Ironically, they both have cloths in their mouths in this picture.
It will be entertaining (and patience invoking) to see how this behavioristic vibe develops as they get older!

They just make the wispy scandinavian hair more static-y!
Sometimes the mimicry is funny, like in this video.
