Likes:
- Music, Dancing and SNAPPING! (ok, he doesn't make noise, but the intention
is definitely to be snapping!)

get laughs everytime

the beach there; playing in the water and running to visit with the
many doggies
- Blows kisses - although the timing of the kiss and the hand motion
aren't always in synch
- We've been in a sort of bedtime honeymoon. After brushing teeth, reading
and singing, he says 'Na na', blows kisses, and waits to be put into
bed. At which point he just rolls over and goes to sleep.
- Says 'Oy? Oy?' when pointing to just about anything.
- Very mechanically inclined -- seems to know how to operate most of
our childproofing stuff, although doesn't actually have the skill or
strength yet.
- Shakes his head and says 'No' before doing something he knows he's
not supposed to do, like tossing food to the dogs.
- Loves thunder. Laughs at loud thunderclaps and then says 'Mo?'
