We have talking boys!

I can finally say that I'm no longer worried about the boys talking.  Thing 2 is a chatter box.  Thing 1 is still a little more reserved unless he is by himself, then he will talk more.  Thing 2 is more of the leader when it comes to talking.  He will repeat anything you ask him to and he will really try to talk to you using words.  We don't always understand him, but he really does try to talk more and use his words.  Thing 1 will use his words too, but won't always repeat what you ask him to.  He just isn't a performing monkey.  He does things when he wants to and only when he wants to.  I guess since they usually want the same things at the same time and his brother is always talking about what he wants he doesn't really need to talk.  But don't get me wrong he can say everything his brother can, he just says it when he wants to.
