For maybe 6m around when he was 2, my first son carried a measuring cup around literally everywhere. It's in the pics from my brother's wedding, he wouldn't let go! He never put anything in it just always wanted his "meying cup"

My 2nd son is just barely two and nothing super weird (yet) although he basically asks everyone he meets (or skypes with, etc) to sing him the wheels on the bus song.

My little brother was TOTALLY obsessed with gloves! At his peak, he literally wore gloves all day with the exception of bathtime. It went on to varying degrees for a couple of years, and my dad definitely joked that he had a glove fetish! FWIW, he's now a charming, well-adjusted 24 year old with a master's degree and a long term girlfriend (although still possibly a secret glove fetish! )

@irene: @ms.line: I had a thing for gloves when I was younger too. They made me feel fancy! I used to pretend I was an orchestra conductor.

@Mrs. Tiger: So cute!!

DS loves utensils (like spatulas, whisks, etc). I think we will have to hide the utensil crock because he cries through meals until I give him one. He's shockingly accurate with a large utensil though, haha! I should probably not give them to him, but it seems relatively harmless as long as he eats and I'm a pick your battles kind of person. Here he is eating breakfast this morning:

@twodoghouse: I like that he's wearing shoes, but no clothes.

Hair. It's definitely lessened, but for awhile there I worried he would be on Strange Obsessions. He used it like a lovey to fall asleep. It did not help with my post partum hair loss problem!

My almost two year old loves rocks, especially very tiny ones. She likes to find them outside and carry them around, and if we don't watch her like a hawk, she will eventually put them in her mouth. I have no idea why she does this and it drives me nuts.

She also seems to love shoes. I'm ok with that obsession.

DS just learned to crawl about a month ago. For the last week or so, he obsessed with sitting in our bathroom on the floor (especially loves it when DH is taking a shower) lol

Ceiling fans. I guess it is like a huge mobile? We sometimes have to turn them off when she eats or she'll get distracted. She's only 4 weeks so she probably just likes the dark/white contrast.

Dogs - any kind. He sees one, screams dog! Dog! And makes a beeline for it. See example below.

Also noses. He loves to reach out and point to them. And water - he'd be great in the desert because he seems to DNS water to splash in anywhere.
