Eating: He enjoys his fruits, Cheerios, cottage cheese, yogurt, and sweet potato. He does not like green vegetables. While I'm trying to get him to sign, it is pretty obvious when he doesn't want anything because his hands go in front of his face and intercept the spoon. He still nurses well and we're still at six times per day. Some of those get interrupted if he finds anything else interesting.
Sleep: He sleeps at night from 7:30/8 until about 6am (with one feeding before I go to bed). I feed him once and he will sleep for another hour. He seems almost ready to drop his morning nap, but I usually encourage at least a short one. He then naps from about 1:30-3, although a bit longer if he didn't take a morning nap.
Playing: He loves balls and balloons (well, really anything that rolls). He also likes playing with anything in Isaac's room, especially the percussion instruments and the duplos.
Moving: His scoot has gotten pretty fast. He stood up (using my arm) two days ago and then let go, and stood for a few seconds all by himself. When he wants to be picked up he'll wiggle both arms and legs.
Attitude: he's still pretty serious with other people. He laughs regularly, but not all that frequently. He has a shriek that he's found recently to get attention. He is happy to play by himself.
Language: he clearly understands his name. (This might be old news. I can't remember). He also understands "no" and will often obey after one or two.

Isaac is 42 months!
Attitude: Isaac is still excitable and laughs at everything. He loves playing. He getting teary when things don't go his way, but getting his wipe usually calms him down.
Playing: his favorite things right now are play-doh and duplos, but he also really likes playing in the sand and running around. Reading is considered a playing activity...some days there is a lot of reading and some days there is not.
Potty training: continues to go pretty well. There are still some accidents. For a while he was wearing underwear to bed, but he's been back in a pull-up lately. (Mainly because I don't do laundry fast enough and don't want an accident with no clean sheets.)
Choosing: When I give him options, he will often say, "I don't know, you choose." After I choose, he always chooses the opposite thing. This came back to bite him this afternoon when he didn't choose a vegetable for lunch. So I did. It was the wrong one, but had already been plated. Maybe he'll learn.
He was so excited about his paints yesterday. So he painted the fire engine today. Surprisingly, it wasn't all black, his favorite color.

We popped the balloons today since we have guests coming this weekend.
