You love plugging in and unplugging the fans we have around the house.

You follow Mommy around when she vacuums.  When she is done you unplug the vacuum cleaner.

You love to play with your nipples when your shirt is not on.

New Words - "cuck" for truck, "calk" for chalk, ball, "eesh" for cheese, "shees" for shoes and juice (or something close to it), "dat" for that, "dis" for this, "I-dih" for I did it.  

You like mimicking Daddy when he takes one or two deep breaths.  

You like to have two sippy cups in your arms - one with juice and the other with milk.  You set them up on the couch and then play for a bit before returning to your beverages.  You take a sip of both.  Sometimes you put both of them in your red car and push it around.  

You like to throw all of your balls down the hall.  When Mommy tries to put them away you get them back out and throw them down the hall again.
