I always thought that "learning how to mimic" part of being a kid came later in life…like around three or four. Boy, was I wrong. Within the last couple of months, Ruby's been watching everything we do and imitating it. She'll find my necklaces and shoes and put them on, start "cooking" in her kitchen (she adds ingredients and stirs the pot while holding the oven mitt), pick up the empty cat food bowls to put them away, and pretend to do the laundry. It amazes me. Any day now, she'll be sitting on a fake computer pretending to blog…Have a great weekend, friends!
P.S. Ruby's mastering her animal noises in the video above. Clearly growling is her favorite…
P.P.S. For more Ruby, see my Instagram and Bob's Instagram.

Oh how cute..i love how she knows all the animal sounds. Very sweet 🙂
Yup, it is amazing! My daughter has her mini mouse lap top and gets REALLY upset if you try to distract her form her “work”. The other morning she told me if I didn’t hold still for the picture I couldn’t be on her blog. She’ll be 3 in June.
That is adorable!
She is so absolutely adorable. And I would love to steal her wardrobe too! 😉
Ahhh so cute! I melted watching her trying to figure out what bee’s sound like 🙂
Oh she is so cute! That was hurting people! “Roar!” 🙂
Thanks for sharing, Joy!
So adorable!!
She is SO cute! And smart. 🙂 i have an 11-month-old who loves imitating sounds already, too. She was completely fascinated by the video. 🙂
Um… could you mail her to me? That would be great! 😉
She is seriously the most adorable thing ever!
OMG, she’s too cute!!
Oh my gosh, she’s growing like crazy!
OMG, absolutely adorable!
Ha, thats amazing!!

Ruby is such a doll! I love her turquoise kitchen set. 🙂
Ruby is nothing short of adorable! the video made my afternoon!
happy weekend, y’all!
Ruby is so adorable and I love seeing her interact and figure things out. My little one is also loving “Grrr” lately!

Check out my eShakti giveaway!
Slightly off topic but: are those Adidas shoes still for sale? They’re brilliant! And your daughter absolutely rocks them 🙂
Give her an ipad and she will amaze you! It’s incredible how quickly they learn. Toddlers are so much fun!
Oh my goodness, Joy, she is the most precious little thing. I’m working on getting my 15 month old to start mimicking. He’s really good at pointing but I’m hoping for more sound. I love this age!
Oh joy, how cute is she? What a little bundle of joy! ^-^
Yes, they are right here!

Thank you!
I think growling is her favorite because SHE IS SO GOOD AT IT. Seriously adorable.
I’m coveting the play kitchen! Where is that from?
Kill me now. This is the sweetest video. What a doll!! Have a happy easter weekend with your little lady:)
and she’s how old?! a smarty pants already!!
omw she is so very cute !

That was absolutely precious!
Stop it! I’m in love! I want to put her in my little pocket and take her home and just squeeze those cheeks forever!
I currently work in the nursery room of a childcare center, and it amazes me everyday what those kids pick up. Children are so amazing!
Ruby is, as always, gorgeous! After watching a couple of your videos I have to say you seem to be a complete natural at being a Mama, Ruby is being raised so beautifully. 🙂 I love that!
That is the cutest video! I didn’t know kids can remember so much at that age!
oh my goodness, how adorable!
she is doing laundry exactly the way i do it too! shake it a bit, leave it on the floor and then take a nap 😀
So cute!
Adorable
Mimicking happens from birth and becomes really noticeable at age 2. She’s a cutie pie. Have fun showing her how to live life. I’m glad she has a great lady to mimic.
I melted into a puddle watching the video
Ruby is so adorable, what a lovely video! I have a 21 month old little girl and she copies everything we say and do at the moment, then adds her new twists and funny sense of humour 🙂
Ha! She’s in touch with her inner roar. Strong feminine energy right there lol. I love that she knows immediately when she’s done the wrong animal sound. Kid is BRILLIANT! Loving the comments that have come in especially the woman whose three year old blogs and “works” smh…
Ahhh, that is so cute!! They are so amazing that they take EVERYTHING in!!
Oh gosh she is the coolest baby girl ever. Soon she’ll be blogging, watch out! 😉
hi joy, rubi’s necklace – oops, i mean your necklace – is super cute. looks like iacoli & mcallister but i don’t recognize that style? thanks!
{ruby!}
Mama and daughter time. Precious.
oh my! your ruby is insanely adorable!
My daughter has that Gap dress in pink!

She’s really adorable. Are girls naturally drawn to all this girly stuff or is it because they see their moms dressing up like this… maybe a bit of both
oh my goodness.. I just watched that video ten times in a row and forwarded it to my husband. it’s the CUTEST thing EVER!!!!
oh my gosh, that video is so cute!
So cute- and coordinated!! ANother off topic- Do you know who makes your dresser? I’ve been looking for something just like that. Thanks!!
Just love the video,will show my Hubby tonight so cute!
