Gordy likes to "hug" the same way. He also "kisses" but kind of lunges his head forward with his lips pulled back then pops that tongue out at the last second. His other way of showing affection is to pull my hair by jumping up on me from behind and giving it a good tug. Probably the funniest thing though is he sits in my lap. If I sit cross legged on the ground, he comes and plops his butt right on my lap. He doesn't realize he is way too big to fit.
