favorite things

Cal's getting harder and harder to get a decent pic of cause he never stops moving so instead of pics I'll do a little update on the big guy. It's so crazy how he went from baby to little boy overnight. The kid is a riot to be around, so much personality. Here are a couple things that make me crazy about Cal, at the moment (that I can think of).

• I love that he just one day randomly took up sign language and Ian and I had to get out our book to see what he was saying and now he constantly signs eat, more, please and started signing poop tonight
• he's a little chatter box. His vocab is huge and it makes life so much easier now that he can tell us what he wants (most of the time)
• love that when he asks for a snack, water, etc. and I ask him what he's supposed to say (i.e. please) he says "more" instead
• love that when I tell him to say hi on the phone the first thing he does is kisses the phone and says "MUAH"
• love that last night when I put him to bed he said "love you, bye"
• love that when wakes up in the morning he calls for "mommy" and "daddy"
• love that he loves shoe shopping and is so proud when he gets a new pair
• love that he just adores Clyde and Suzie and asks for them at least 98 times a day (and that when he pets Suzie he tells her "good girl")
• love that if he had to pick one thing to take somewhere with him, it's always a book
• love that he's such a boy. he's so into trucks, elk, playing with dirt/rocks, and he's one tough cookie
• love that he can spot an airplane in the sky from anywhere and points and says "up, up, up" until it's out of sight
• love that he just adores his dad
• love that after I take a pic he likes to look at the picture on the camera
• loves that he know every animal sound imaginable
