Naps: mostly one nap a day for 2-3 hours around 12:30-1, when home with Dad, sometimes 2 2 hour naps
Favorite person: Daddy mostly, but really loves being with Mommy too
Latest Accomplishment: his speech has really picked up, also, he has done a good job working on his behavior- better with time outs, asking for help, asking please (don't get me wrong, he's still a toddler)
Likes: playing with Mommy and Daddy, "reading", going for walks/playing outside, "cooking", coloring/sidewalk chalk, "driving" the car (with Daddy into the garage), fixing cars with Daddy, playing on Mommy and Daddy's bed, cleaning/sweeping, digging in the garden

What he is signing: all done, more, please, water, help, thank you, milk, eat
What gets said about BJ most often: how cute he is, and more so- how well mannered
Best known for: his expressions
Fears: suffocating with his inhaler?, Mommy or Daddy leaving him
Health: doing better, only a few colds this year, gastroenteritis (stomach flu)
How he's like Daddy: he likes Mommy, has a mischevious grin at times, loves to "drive the car", mostly laid back personality, work on the car and outside, take napps
How he's like Mommy: his coloring, his hugs, love of cuddling (at least while he reads)
Funny things he's done lately: cover his eyes with his hands, but look out through the fingers, "clean" our already clean oven with a wet sponge, getting upset when he accidentally peed on one of his favorite books, signing "all done" from the backseat on car rides, asking to sit on the couch and clapping when the TV got turned on (he doesn't watch any TV at all- it is really never on with him around!), "sliding" down the stairs on his belly- really fast, blow kisses by putting his hand over his mouth and blowing through the fingers, taking his pj pants and diaper off one night in bed, putting pants on upside down, putting another pair of pants on over his current ones

That's probably enough for now. The pics:
