more extremely human qualities

The jokes have definitely evolved. The latest thing is "when I was a baby, I couldn't say [word]; I said [slight mutation of word]." It's wild. Child exhibits great interest in what it's like to be a baby; has started talking about what it would be like to have another baby in the family.

The other thing that will be funny when he's older is that he'll wake up at 5:30am and announce "I'm ready to get up," then negate any and every factual statement we make (it's too early, nobody in the neighborhood is up yet, it's not breakfast time yet, the night isn't over yet, we still need to sleep, etc.).

The other other thing is that he's really into counterfactuals and uses the subjunctive mood correctly. "If that thing were too big, it would fall down." He also uses "lay" and "lie" appropriately.

Also let's always remember that "the itsy bitsy spider" sounds like "the itsy bitsy spader."
