It is not unusual for children whose parents speak one language, have a nanny speak another and live in a country where a third language is spoken to accomplish this. Reading at 14 months (or even 17 months) is considerably more unusual.

I'm sure your grandchildren are all quite bright, but this little girl is truly an outlier. This is an unusual skill, whereas multilanguage ability in young children is not.
