likes: eating, tooting, the cats, when Daddy comes home, shaking things that make a lovely rattle sound, jabbering emphatically, jumping, walking around while holding Mommy or Daddy’s hands, banging his hands on things, banging toys on things, banging toys together, making noise in general, being coy with people at the supermarket, turning the knobs on the retro stereo, Peter Paul and Mary, b sounds, d sounds, m sounds, r sounds, p sounds, f sounds, n sounds, growling. 

dislikes: 4:30 p.m. or thereabouts, waking early from naps, being told “no”, Mommy taking things from him that he isn’t supposed to be playing with though he wants to anyway, waiting to be fed, feeling cranky for no reason, accidentally falling over while sitting or standing, Mommy walking out of a room.
 

nicknames: Fatman, FatToots, Remy, Ephraim, Crazy Butt.
