I think that 1 and 2 start to sink in early. At least Frances seems to understand the concept of "one at a time." I'm so impressed that Casper can use the possessive!
It's fascinating to me to hear about the verbal development of other toddlers around Franny's age. Each child is different, each child seems to be really advanced in particular areas, but overall you know that they all are learning about language at roughly the same rates. Like Casper is much more verbal than Frances, and she has the possessives and plurals down. Frances is good with prepositions and pronouns. And she occasionally comes out with a grammatically correct sentence, like "I sat on it." Her friend Sophie talks ALL THE TIME, and she will string together words to express ideas, like "silly Franny smile."
