I've just experienced my first toddler-speaking-to-boob - I was jiggling them around immediately before bedtime to see which one to give him and I think he thought I was trying to find them, so when I got it out, he shouted "there!!" as in "there it is!" So very cute.
He's also signing heaps now and can ask for more, asks where things are or what things are, tells me he can hear birds, cars, a helicopter or aeroplane, or daddy coming home, plus a range of foods. He also does a load of different animals and, more usefully, pain. I am totally with the signing thing now as it has helped us understand one another massively.
He can also drag steps to where he wants to climb and has cleverly (if worryingly) figured out how to open the front door. He helps unload the dishwasher, putting cutlery in the drawer and other items where I tell him to put them. He also unloads and loads the washing machine with me, and tidies his toys away! My clever little boy.
Before having kids I never really understood the fascination with their development, but it is really interesting watching someone learn so much and so quickly.
Finally, he is beginning to eat - hurrah! Last night he had Thai red curry veggies (cauliflower, potato, chickpea and tomato) with cous cous and yoghurt (all separately and all fed by himself - though he insists on using a fork to eat yoghurt).
Anyway, that's all my tired brain can think of right now - clearly he has not yet learned to sleep through the night!
