Samuel will see a book about fire trucks or construction vehicles, pick it up, and run over to sit in our laps to read to him, or sit down and look at the book himself.

I like reading!
Samuel loves to read books, especially books about trucks. When he sees a firetruck, he makes a "wooo-wooo-wooo" sound.

Playing Together
Sometimes the boys will sit together and play, without fighting for the same toys. Samuel is busy trying to shake tape off his finger.

The prankster et al.
As I type, Samuel is having a lot of fun taking his own saliva and wiping it on my leg. At first, I thought he was just experiencing different textures, i.e., my leg. But then I noticed he was walking back and forth between a puddle of drool and my leg, deliberately slabbing on the web stuff and giving me mischievous looks and smiling. He knows what he's doing. A prankster at age 13 months.
Also when we tell him something is a no-no, he just smiles at us and waves his finger back and forth in front of his face.
His favorite foods these days: broccoli and peas. If we are trying to feed him something he doesn't like, we try to hide it in broccoli.
When he sees a vehicle of any sort, he points and tries to say, "truck!"
When he sees a dog, he also points as shouts something that sounds like "Bah!"
He is good at some imitations: a growl, "shh" sounds, and basically copying his brother.
He really enjoys getting objects together and banging together in his hands.
He goes directly to the tinkertoy container and likes to open the lid and take out different color sticks. He's also very neat sometimes, and will help us point things back in the container.
The other day I was surprised at bedtime when I asked him to pick out the caterpillar book from the bookshelf, and he did.
Our babysitter said that the other day at the library, he walked around and hugged the other children, and gently stroked them on the arm. He's a real sociable dude.
