And he's been pretty nuts lately, as far as the ridiculous stuff that comes out of his mouth. He's starting to fully understand swear words.

Jonah peed in the potty tonight! Three times! And he kept a pair of underwear dry from the time Chris got done with his first potty time shortly after he got home from work to the time he went to bed tonight. HOORAY!
