The Car Says "Bttt"

I think people generally agree, imitating animal sounds is a rather important landmark for the developing homo sapien. It's a sign off a whole bunch of wheels turning in their little noggins. For a good month, month and a half, the boys have been able to do two really good impressions on command. Do you know Liam and Dash's first animal noise?

A car. Okay, so what if it's not an animal, it's the same idea. They just loves showing off how well they can "Bttt."

They can pick out cars so well, in places I don't even notice- in the background of a television show, driving by our fence, far off in the distance in the scene of a picture book... they've got eagle eyes for vehicles. They drive their little toy cars around a dozen times a day and it's easy to keep track of their whereabouts with their continual soundtrack.

(My mom bought the kids a book of pictures cards, like the one Dash is holding, and their favorites are, of course, the car images. Though, whenever the one featuring a hairbrush floats to the top of the pile, Dash sweeps it across his lovely locks. Smart cookie.)

I weirdly only have one video of them performing as cars, it's in the middle of this clip, coupled by their second animal imitation: the dog bark. I've never heard it quite they way they do it, like a closed-mouth yelp. It sounds similar enough for them. So enjoy that as well as a few of their other tricks:
