Play peekaboo
Make random mouth noises
Shake a water bottle in an entertaining way
Sneak in and out of the kitchen dramatically
Pile kitchen utensils on top of each other
Pretend a pair of kitchen tongs are a puppet
Pretend the tongs are a bitey animal
Pretend the tongs are a baby head-measuring device
Toss a tennis ball around with tongs, thereby inventing "tongball"
Show him happy people on a mug (who he then smiles and talks to)
