(it started with just the right foot, but has now also spread to the left.)

signals he is done eating by saying “doot-doot” [thank you] and handing pieces of food back to mommy.
has learned to call the cat by emitting a high-pitched keee-keee-keee-keee! while opening and closing his outstretched hand.
(cat has not learned to be called by this method yet.)
brings books to Mommy with an enthusiastic boo-KAH!
(Mommy realizes she may have over-emphasized that final k in “book.”)
still cries when dropped off at the nursery.
says about 25 words
starts singing “The Whiffenpoof Song” when Mommy asks if he’s ready to go snooze.
has been granted Free [Supervised] Reign of the Lower Level since showing he can respect boundaries.
FINALLY likes to give [closed-mouth] kisses.
