1. Whacking at processed food-payloaded spoons en route to his waiting, open mouth. (He scores a direct hit roughly 10% of the time, which is higher than we'd like it to be.)
2. Falling asleep in his bed with the aid of this super helpful 2xCD set and a pacifier.
3. Smacking plastic toys together with a sometimes frightening vehemence.
4. Playing with his cousins Sheyanne and Mason, usually giggling and laughing uncontrollably, which makes Dad get all "why doesn't he laugh like that when he's playing with me? What's up with that? Why you gotta do me like that, Cap'n Curious? Damn!"
5. Pounding his palms against whatever surface is available.
6. Making bee-lines for electrical outlets, whether or not they're empty.
7. Shoveling crunchy treats into his mouth and then requesting more, even while still chewing.
8. Crawling! Crawling: still very hip, still very trendy.
9. Pulling/kicking off shoes, pulling/kicking/biting off socks.
10. Face smacking! (Often coupled with forceful attempts to shove the pacifier you frequently foist upon him into your mouth, because, well, doing this makes total sense to him, and why shouldn't it at the age of 1?)

What is it with children and small outlets? My Uncle's kid came over a few weeks ago and within 10 seconds of crawling on the floor his fingers went for the outlet!!!
I really enjoy these posts! The Boss Hog comparison has me laughing anytime I see a little kid freaking out-
they want to KNOW, man!
just you wait!
