Robby's repetitive sound-making is characteristic of babbling, a developmental stage typically seen in infants around 6 to 8 months old. Rebecca's use of two-word sentences represents telegraphic speech, which is common in toddlers around 18 to 24 months old, where they combine words to convey a message but omit smaller words.
