I've only really noticed it in the last year or so, and mine are
five-y-olds.

Hi Jack!
My guys just turned 2 yesterday, and they don't really talk *that* much
(what we can understand anyway), but when asked 'how old are you' they
will say "two" and try to hold up 2 fingers, but it ends up being 3
fingers. Each child is different, though. That's what I have to remember
when other kids are doing more at this age.

They didn't start doing that until they were about 3. When they were two they
would give a doll (or whatever) a name if we told them to. I remember asking
Jordan what we should name the snowman we built when they were 2, and she
promptly replied "Too".

Right before their first birthday. We started telling them they were about to
turn one. When someone would ask them how old they were they would hold up one
finger and say "one". My girls are big talkers though. My niece didn't start
answering until after her second birthday.
