She repeats actions that cause a response such as playing with rattle, patting on table, drum, etc. or make various sounds through lips, tongue and pallet.
Your baby repeats words: What you need to know

Your baby took an active participation in conversation even it is not directed to her. Say simple words to your child so that your baby repeats the same words to enhance her skills.
What you need to do
Play with your child as much as you can. Create different sounds from your mouth and various object. Create your own toys by placing some beads in empty bottles or just tap spoon on bowl. Encourage your child when she repeats you. With time, you will hear your baby repeating 'I love you'.
