Hello, my name is...

Setting: A casual Sunday afternoon lunch at Potbelly's. The after-church crowd is just rolling in. Dad jumps in line to order sandwiches for his family while Mom scouts around for a booth.
Mom: (buckling Abby into her highchair at their table) Daddy went to get your sandwich. Do you want some water?

Abby: Wa-wer!

Kid in the booth behind us: (peering over at Abby) Hi, I'm Zach.

Abby: Hi! I Abby!
Fast-forward 30 minutes. Abby's finishing up her turkey sandwich when she notices a little boy behind her smiling at her.
Smiling little boy: (shaking goldfish crackers everywhere) Weeeee!

Abby: Hi! I Abby!
--------------------------

Since when did she start having conversations? And where did she learn to introduce herself like that?

    While Noah won't introduce himself to strangers, if I ask "Noah, are you my buddy?" He answers, "No, I Wowah" (Noah). "Noah, is Ryan my buddy?" "No I Ryan" (While pointing at Ryan.) "Noah, am I your buddy?" "No, I Daddy" (While pointing at me.) Apparently "I" is the universal pronoun for him.
