My son is about 18 months old and we are bringing him up bilingually. He is currently very echolalic. It is fascinating. He copies things he hears, normally one or two of the words from sentences people say around him. You can also give him new words and he repeats them almost exactly. I spend lots of the limited time I get with him pointing at things and telling him what they are. He loves these word games too. We also look at lots of picture books, but he seems to take in more when we just "talk". I really love this period of the children growing up. They haven't quite reached that 'terrible twos' stage yet.
