What things has your 13/14 month old picked up on or you taught them?

My son has figured out to throw trash in the trash can, like if he’s finished a pouch he’ll throw it away. He’ll also put his cup on the table sometimes he’ll just drop it on the floor.

My mum had a lovely idea to treat our family to a special Christmas experience by booking tickets to Lapland UK for us, my brother, and all the kids.
