&#8220;Twinkle, Twinkle&#8221; and will do the motions to the song.</li> <li>will wave bye-bye.  Most of the time we tell him to say bye-bye he looks at the front door, waves, and says &#8220;dada ba-ba&#8221;.</li> <li>will pat his Bible</li> <li>some how knows when we leave the bathroom or kitchen gate open and will crawl as fast as he can to try to get in those rooms</li> </ul><div>He has
