I love to:

Go to the lake! I find rocks and carry as many as I can back home from walks. I love to throw rocks in the lake and say "splash." Honking like a goose while watching the geese and ducks is still a favorite. We sit on the bench and play in the gazebo next to the lake. I also collect sticks from the willow tree and find big ones for Mama and Dada. We all have to stomp on the water meters as we walk to the lake.
Play hide and seek by running into the bedroom, closing the door and hiding. Then I yell Mama or Dada so they come look for me. Sometimes I like to hide in the curtains
Play in the nightstand drawers and pull out Mama and Dada's rings, remotes, books and chapstick even though I am not supposed to.
Find my Elmo Christmas ornament on the Christmas tree.
Love to put things around my neck - necklaces, belts, etc. I steal them from Mama and Dada to play with them.

I can:

Count to 10 without looking at numbers.
Put two word sentences together - "Dada up." She says this when she wants to sit on the loveseat and watch a song on tv.
I can tell you how old I am by holding up one finger and saying one. I can also hold up two fingers and say I want to listen to two more songs. "More" is a favorite word. ;)
Sing along to Silent Night - Hoooollllly and Niiiiiiiight. haha!
I know what certain letters stand for - if asked what is H for? Hippo. M - Mama, D- Dada, N-no, B- ball, etc.
Point to myself and say "me". Who is YaYa's girl? Me!
Open and close most doors in the house now, but I have to be on my tippy toes to pull them shut.
Scream and imitate Dada when he screams.
Sit on the potty, even though I sit backwards. I pretend to wipe with toilet paper.
Say "Pop" when the toaster goes off with my waffles or Mama's toast.
Say "elbows" when my sleeves are rolled up for meal time.
Say pretty much every single body part, even "eyebrows."
Say "Yayyyyyy" after I get anything right - match Sesame Street characters to their flashcards, counting, etc.
Put on and pull up my own pants.
Point out all of the wreaths and garland and mistletoe in the house. I learned these words immediately after reading them once in a book about Christmas.
Say "Ho, ho" for Santa
Make it very clear what song I want to hear on Super Simple Songs - I can either say the words or point to the screen.
