I don't know my model number by heart either... Hm youtube videos have helped me loads too! And books! I got this one and it's proven quite helpful and fun. Maybe you could get one on quilts if that's what you wish to do?
OH OH what are you going to make!? I'm sewing too now!
Can I suggest this AWESOME book - really helpful and fun things to make and easy projects and clear instructions!!!
One Yard Wonders by Patricia Hoskins

Oh man, I love vests and sweater vests. My son is so lucky I didn't put him in them all the time.
I don't sew very much, so I can't be of a huge amount of help, but I do love the Monkey Butt Pants. There is a good pattern for them available in a book called One Yard Wonders: 101 Sewing Projects. I only recommend the book because I have it; there are several other patterns in it for babies and toddlers I think you'd find something neat in there.
The other thing I really like, and I only ever bought it but I know it can be made, are shirts with attached capes. For babies they're not sewn on but attached with hook-and-loop tape. (I'd still wait on something like that until he's old enough to sit up on his own at least, but man they are cute.)
Oh, and honestly, my boy is pretty much like my girls. But he is cuddly and sometimes quite clingy. Much more affectionate than any of my daughters (I had four girls before him). It just gets a little frustrating sometimes when he does some crazy thing like climb the back of the couch and jump off and I have to listen to people saying it's because he has a penis and not because he was aping his older sister.
