• Peek-a-boo - "Buh"
• Yeah - "Day!" or "Ah!"
• Mama

• No - "ma, ma, ma, ma, ma" (At least I think that's what he means when he says that.)

He will usually eat any of the above without refusal, unless he's sick.

Motor Skills

• Running/stumbling around
• Spinning in circles
• Climbing onto chairs and the table, he's a pro on the stairs
• Opening doors, as long as the door is pushed to be opened. He can't open by pulling yet.
• Turning lights on and off

Funny things he does

• When he's finished with an object, or looking for something else in the toy box, he throws it behind himself without even looking to see who or what he might be hitting with it.
• Sometimes he brings me my shoes and waits for me to put them on or he tries to pull his coat off the coat rack if he wants to go somewhere.
• He throws balls up in the air and says, "Day!" and the claps his hands.
• He brings me all of his balls and waits for me to throw them or roll them across the room.
• For a couple of weeks he went through a phase where he would walk around saying, "Eh?" to everyone and waiting for some sort of response.
• He's very friendly. He'll go up to pretty much anyone, tap them on the legs, and wait for them to pick him up. I have to be very careful about letting him walk around when we're in public because he does this.
• If he's in the bathroom with me he'll pull toilet paper off the roll and hand it to me to wipe. He's very helpful :)

He's getting to be smarter and more fun every day. I'm just trying to keep up :)
