-finally facing forward in his car seat
-saying “mommy come” when he wants me to come play with him
-after taking amoxicillin for his ears, saying “one more medicine”

-after going poop, asking for treats and requesting certain colored treats
-knows his colors and will tell us the colors of anything he’s playing with without being asked
-loves farm animals and the noises they make
-favorite song has ranged from “I Love You” from Barney to “Old MacDonald Had a Farm” to “Twinkle Twinkle Little Star” to “I’ve Been Working on the Railroad.”
-Can count with us to 5- Once we start with number one, he’ll say 2, 3, 2, 5.
-Enjoys doing puzzles, especially those that make noise

Aw, this brings back memories (of 7 months ago, lol.) Adam used to count "1, 2, 3, 2, 3, 2, 3, 2..."
Now, we're up to 11, but from there it goes 11, 8, 9, 10, 11, 8, 9, 10...I think it's because 11 rhymes with 7?
HA! Noah has been wanting seconds of his meds. for ear infection too. I guess I will be happy that it isn't a struggle to give it to him.
