Isaac says 'hand' (imperatively, when he wants his hand held), 'car', 'cat', and 'hat'.  He mimics birds very convincingly.

Isaac jumped (getting both feet off the ground) at a playground in Disneyworld.

DYLAN (to Alice in Wonderland): I have a book about you.

ALICE: Is it your favourite book?

DYLAN: No. I have lots of books.

Isaac played with the toilet paper while Daddy looked for the changing table. 'There's no changing table in here', said Daddy to himself. Isaac lay down on his back in the middle of the toilet floor. He is struggling to make clear that he understands.

DADDY: Are you too warm or too cold?

DYLAN: Which does the ceiling fan do?

DADDY: It makes the room cooler.

DYLAN: I'm too warm.

DYLAN: I want to wash my hair.

DADDY: Do you need any help?

DYLAN: Yeah, can you please pass the champagne?

Isaac telephoned Daddy from Grandma and Grandpa's house phone, all by himself, and without anyone else's knowledge. He spoke excitedly with Daddy for several minutes. Daddy was unable to persuade Isaac to retrieve Grandma or Grandpa, and eventually he hung up.

Isaac has grown crazy for books. He carries them to Daddy, then scoots onto Daddy's lap, then insists that he be read to. Occasionally he scoots onto Dylan's lap with a book, and Dylan recently 'read' That's Not My Tractor to Isaac.

Today we went to Willows Farm with Kat, Sam, and Oliver.

Isaac tried to open the garden door. 'It would be possible to go into the garden if you had your shoes on', said Daddy. 'It will not be possible if you do not have your shoes', added Dylan. Isaac retrieved his shoes by himself, returned to the garden door, and tried putting his shoes on. Daddy, impressed at Isaac's understanding and initiative, helped with the shoes and released Isaac into the garden.
