One of his favorite things to do right now is play hide and seek. He finds little corners in the house where he can hide, and then says "boo" when you find him and cracks up.
He also loves to throw balls and put balls (and books, and coasters, and sippy cups, and shoes) through his basketball hoop.
He understands pretty much everything we say to him. He follows directions (when he wants to) and knows where things go.
He has a bit of a hitting problem... not out of anger, but just in a playing way. It hurts though, this boy is strong as an ox. So we tell him "no hitting", but he only laughs at us.
Heiko hates brushing his teeth. But he has teeth! 6 of them! 4 on top, 2 on bottom.
He loves being outside. He lasts longer in the cold weather than I do.
He is a little monkey. He climbs on anything he can. But he is not very adept at getting down, so we have to watch the little daredevil.
Heiko likes to dance; his new move is spinning in circles.
He makes the most amazing connections. For example, a couple of weeks ago he wanted to get through the baby gate to the kitchen, so he went and found my keys and brought them over to try and "unlock" the gate.
Heiko doesn't walk anymore, he runs. Or pitter-patters. Or marches.
He is just so stinking smart. He surprises us every day with something new that he says or does.
Here is a list of the words that Jonas and I can think of that Heiko knows. The list is at 39 words right now. So far he hasn't connected any words into phrases, but I'm guessing that will happen soon!
