• Turns on the Roomba and then runs away in terror (12-14 months)
• Eats his body weight in crayons every day (14-16 months)
• Can get up on the bathroom stool-but has to cry piteously for help down. Like a cat (14-18 months)

• When I figure out what he wants from his grunts and gestures (ie: a drink) he claps for me very enthusiastically (18-19 months)
• Calls cars, trucks, animals, and airplanes “cars.” If it's an animal “car” he waves his hand and says “woof woof” (18-19 months)

• Tommy was pointing to face parts on Tom (ie: "eyes" "ears" etc.) Pointing to his head he said "duck" (2 years)
• If he has a stinky diaper he comes up and says "Eliza poopy" and in the bath he doesn't want to get his hair washed so he wails "Eliza wash, Eliza WASH!" (2 years)
• Samantha said "My tUmmy hurts" and so Tommy looked at her and then said "No, TOmmy not hurt" and started giggling hysterically
• One day I asked him "Oh, isn't Eliza cute" and he said "No ME cute!"
