1) I got out stickers one morning for Russell and I to play with while Meredith napped. I had paper out also, but Russell decided he had a better idea. He stuck the stickers on his shirt one at a time, and after each one, he clapped and said "yay." Hilarious! You can tell he was proud of himself.
2) Russell now knows to say "cheese" for the camera - he will say it if you ask, and sometimes will say it even if you don't ask. He's actually saying cheese in the photo with the stickers.
3) Russell loves animals: real, stuffed, or cartoon. If you tell him, "look, there's a bunny in the yard!" (which happens often) or, "that's a duck on TV" he will look at the animal and say "hi!" If you give him a toy animal, chances are he will start saying "hop" and making the animal hop on the ground. He thinks all animals hop: bunnies (of course, they actually do), birds, cats, etc - we have tried to tell him otherwise, but he looks at us like we're crazy :)
4) More sweet than funny - Russell has started giving kisses. His favorite things to kiss are Fuzzy (his lovey), Lamby (Meredith's lovey), and his little sister :) He has always given great hugs, and now he can say "hug" as well.
I'm going to have to start writing down funny things by the day - he does them so often! I am loving this age (well, besides the ever-present tantrums, but that just comes with the territory).
