I have one of them too-
I am teaching him to throw a ball and catch- he loves the nerf football. He feeds himself finger foods and drinks from a sippy cup. I am teaching him to use small phrases like "Catch the ball" or "Look at this" and "Cup please" and "thank you". I also take all the words that sound like he said something and run with it so he feels as if he is communicating. I am trying to teach him to share by asking for things and when he gives it to me I say "Good Sharing" and then I give it back to him and he says "thankyou" I think the best thing to teach at this time are ways to communicate and play on their own or with others. It makes the clingy baby turn into a fun and playfull toddler.

You're starting too young. On average, boys are potty trained around 3 years old. My very daughter was potty trained at 32 months old-- after working with her for the previous month. It just clicks in their head. Most children don't go to kindergarten in diapers. Potty training happens when the child is ready-- not when mom and dad is. I wouldn't worry about it for a while. As for the taking the diapers off- keep their clothes on and maybe use pull ups-- they're harder to get off.

He can BEGIN to learn lots of things, but don't expect him to start doing calculus over night.
He can start helping to pick up toys, and if he's not off a bottle yet...he can be. He can 'help' feed pets (but don't leave the pet food where he can do it himself, or your fish will be living in some pretty murky water).
If you want to teach him colors, letters, numbers etc... he's a bit young yet, but there's no reason you can't introduce them to him. They really just like to follow the lead of a parent or older sibling at this stage.

I'm not aware of any curriculum for babies.
If you play w/ and interact w/ your child, he will learn all he needs to. If you talk to him like another grown up (maybe simplify a little) rather than using baby talk, he'll learn how to speak properly in his own time.
Children are like sponges, especially at this age. They absorb all that is around them. They will mimic your actions even more than your words, so be aware of the kind of model you are being.

You can play with how to spell his name (turn it into a song or chase him around like playing tag then when you catch him you have him spell his name to get away again), colors, alphabet, shapes, how to count to 5 then 10 etc. Just make sure that you make it fun or he wont want to do it anymore.
