When Hayes was less than one I did a much better job of documenting his likes and dislikes and the milestones he met. It gets much harder the older they get, but I'm still committed to documenting these things. I think it's so fun to look back and see how he changes and I'm sure one day we will love to look back and remember all of these adorable (and not so adorable) things he does, says, or likes. You know, mom stuff.
Current likes:

When we can't understand what he's saying
Messy diapers
He doesn't tolerate orange juice, yogurt, or too much lemonade.
He is saying SO many words, like too many to count. He is really good about trying to say anything we say. He refuses to say "please" or "thank you" even though I know he knows how. What a stinker!
He's currently wearing 2T-3T and I officially had to put away anything sized smaller than that. He wears bigger shirts and smaller pants. He has Sam's body (bigger shoulders and upper body, smaller lower body and a small bum. He's about due for another haircut, so he obviously got Sam's hair too because mine does not grow that fast. I was hoping he would have some curls, but his hair is about as straight as it comes. His feet have been growing and he is currently wearing a 7 in toddlers. I have started buying a little bigger (it varies on the brand though). He's a great eater, a great sleeper, and only really gets cranky when he needs a nap. He's pretty happy and pretty easily distracted. He is getting much easier to reason with and understands what we're telling him. He's a hugger. He likes to sit on people's lap when he likes them. He has just started talking to his primary leaders and they LOVE it! He is the best "Bye" sayer and blows the BEST kisses! He will also pretty much give a kiss when we ask him, especially to his Mama! He thinks its SO funny when I give him a hundred kisses before bed.
He is such a joy to have around and literally brightens people up where ever we go. He loves to say bye to EVERYONE and says hi to everyone when we walk. He is SO friendly and the best thing ever. We literally love him more and more everyday!
His current nicknames are:
Hayes-a
Hayesie
Hayesie Daisy
Hayesie Maisy
Hayes-a Dase-a
Hayes- oh
Mr. Moo
Prancer (my Dad calls him that because when he runs he looks like he's prancing)
Twinkle toes (same thing as above)
Fairy (again, same as above)
