...Plays "Dink," where he brings his nose to touch ours when we say "dink."
...Doesn't like to lie still for diaper changes.
...Enjoys the Gravity Game: Turns out, when you throw toys over the side of the car seat or changing table, they fall to the floor. But he often plays again, just to be sure. And again.
