Get a load of this sweet little “puppy!” 🐶
Infants are masterful observers and mimics of the environments and key figures in the world around them. It’s how they learn.
And that can extend beyond their human relatives.
Watch how this little one practices sticking out her tongue - and panting - in the style of the family dog. It’s a complex (two part) impersonation - and one that show’s baby’s growing analytical skills and control over her body.
Too cool!
Have you ever noticed your baby imitating a beloved pet? What did they do?

Their dog hasn’t eaten well since they brought their baby home - dog kept taking food into the living room and leaving it there. Someone suggested the dog might be worried the baby isn’t visibly eating, so is “feeding” the baby. They tried giving the baby a bowl of food at the same time. It worked!
