A is constantly doing this hybrid raspberry/motor type thing with her mouth. She's been doing it for weeks and it's hilarious.

L does this a lot. The tone changes according to her mood, so H and I say, "Happy motorbike!" or "Oh dear, the motorbike in the room is getting angry!" as appropriate.

Maybe my baby has slightly odd parents as well...

[tiffbot]

She scrunches her nose and breathes really fast when she's being silly. She's done this since she was really little!

[jillywilly]

Ha, I actually thought to myself I should start a thread for this.

DS will take my hands while he's on my lap, clap them a few times, and them move them so I'm essentially giving him earmuffs. It's the weirdest thing. The clapping thing seems normal, since we often do that together, but I have never once put my hands over his ears, so no clue where that came from.

[Widget123]

He likes squeezing noses... Like around the nostrils so you cant breathe.

[Widget123]

This thread is hilarious already

[3dimesdown]

MM won't go to sleep lately unless she has her head on my bare stomach with her fingers in my belly button.

[3dimesdown]

Also she has taken to waving with both arms like a crazy person and cackling while she does it. She looks like a little deranged duckling trying to fly.

[kemdupuis]

B loves to jam his fingers into my mouth when he is nursing. He is wanting me to pretend like I'm biting them- he thinks it's hilarious.

tiffbot, B scrunches up his nose and breathes quickly too. It's so funny.

Also, he is half crawling/half army scooting to get around these days, but always dragging his left leg. I know nothing is wrong with it because he uses it for just about everything else, but for some reason that is his preferred means of transportation

Ha, DS does this too when he's super excited. He just starts screaming, flapping his arms, and bouncing up and down where he's sitting, like he just can't control how happy he is. It cracks me up every time. H always asks him if he's prepared for take off, because it looks like he's trying to take flight.

[holliberry28]

I might've mentioned this before, but M will crawl to the hardwood floor, go into downward dog, purposefully spit on the floor, and then play with his drool with his fingers.

[musicfrk2002]

Practically hyperventilates if he sees food.

Currently speaks either as Julia Child or as a demon--super high or super growly.

He's currently twerking at his activity table.

[musicfrk2002]

Also, he's still doing that sitting thing, where he holds his arms out and leans back with his legs off the ground

[sugarkissed]

@kristykristeelee B has always sucked on her bottom lip. She uses it like a pacifier. Whenever she is tired is sucking her lip. It's cute, but people always comment on how sad she looks. Haha.

[sugarkissed]

She climbs her sister's little chair for the sole purpose of diving off of it head first. All. Day. Long.

Also hyperventilates at the sight of food. Her first word was "More". lol.

[veggiemo]

tiffbot, Both my kids did/do that! I have some professional pictures of DS1 doing it and they are hilarious.

When LO is sitting down and gets excited about something, he has his legs straight out in front of him, lifts his feet off the floor, and then rolls his ankles in circles over and over again! I'm not sure if you can picture that but it's SO FUNNY.

[tiffbot]

Oh I also noticed lately she covers her ears to play peekaboo, not her eyes, lol!

[beersandweirs]

She likes to sleep with her butt up in the air to one side and her head facing the opposite way, it looks horribly uncomfortable.

[beersandweirs]

She also always likes to hook her toes on the edge of the tray of her high chair while she eats.

BH also.

He likes when I rub his stomach, so he'll move my hand to his stomach and make it make circles. 

His favorite place to sit is on the coffee table.

[bookninja]

She loves being outside, but when it's windy, she like kind of loses her mind. She starts loudly saying "whoooo" over and over with this huge smile on her face.
Edit: forgot a word...

C does this at every meal.

[baytosa2013]

C loves to shred...paper, napkins, whatever. I told her this morning I was going to get our shred bag out and let her go to town. She also like to jam her fingers in your mouth and for you to pretend bite her. Water puddles in the door of the dishwasher are the best "water table" EVAR and pulling at the gate at the bottom of the stairs like she is in jail and howling like a banshee.

[pghtruelove]

When Jules picks something up she places it on her head like a hat. She usually has a diaper or wipe hat on her head.

[sabrinaml]

C enjoys playing with the ice cubes in daddy's cocktails. We've tried giving him his own cup with ice and water, not the same. He likes the sound of the ice clinking the glass.

E does too, and then he moves his leg while his feet are up so the chair makes a lot of noise.

[mirage86]

E likes to stick his feet in my face when he is nursing, because he wants me to smell them and say "Phew!! Stinky baby feet!" He laughs every time.

[purple]

When L is pleased to see someone (or something), she taps them half a dozen times with the palm of her hand. The cat does not respond happily to this treatment.

When she has some particularly delicious food, she holds it up in the air, at arm's length, and sings to it. "Aaah! Ma-ma-ma ba-ba-da aah! Aah!" It's very hard not to laugh because it's hilarious. We must try to get a video of it. She does something familiar when she sees something wonderful, like Daddy or Granny, a random cat or dog in the street, a pillar box, fire extinguisher, or a tree. She reaches out to the wonderful thing and sings at it.

She is beginning to understand the concept of "no" and so far, when she understands, she takes on board that it isn't allowed. (I fully expect that to change when she's a bit older and understands about arguing.) We know when she's understood that we don't want her to do something because she stops and bursts into floods of heartbroken tears. It's so sweet. She does as she's told even though she doesn't want to.

[Widget123]

In addition to saying "up up up", LO signals that he wants to be picked up by lifting his right arm out in front of him while bending his hand so that his fingers are pointing down towards the floor. I have no idea how he came up with that.

[belle0720]

G loves to stick her tongue out in lizard-like motions. I'm weird too because I think it's funny so I do it to get her started and then we laugh at each other and try to grab each others tongues. I need to get this on video.

G too. And then she likes to eat it.
