What's new with Cael?

It's been awhile since I have dedicated a post to what's new with Cael. He still only has six teeth, which has me worried because he hasn't gotten any teeth since he was 11 months old. That was five months ago! He loves to pick up the phone and talk. He will grab my cell phone or any phone and say "Ello!" He also has started saying "woah" and "wow". He also says mama, all done, bye, hi, boo and some others that aren't coming to mind right now. He knows lots of animal sounds (moo, baa, quack, etc) and mimics the sounds when he hears them. His favorite word is "uh-oh" which he uses A LOT. He now runs everywhere and is pretty fast. He never sits still and is always on the move. He gets into everything!! He also usually has bruises all over his legs, knees, and forehead. He seems to run into doors a lot and gets bruises on his forehead. He loves books, but is going through a phase where he won't let anyone else hold them or turn the pages, so actually reading a story to him is pretty hard. He is also going through a screaming phase. He screams all the time and about everything: when he's happy, mad, wants something, Ayden took something from him, Ayden is touching him, etc. Sibling rivalry is going into full-force too. Cael will run up and take something from Ayden and take off running. Ayden gets mad, tries to take it back and Cael starts screaming. This is what life has become now. Ok, not all the time, but some days it seems like all I hear is, "mine" and screaming/shrieking. Cael also has learned quite a few signs. It depends on his mood whether he wants to use them or not, but he now knows: more, milk, all done, dog, lights, eat, bye, and a few others that I can't think of right now.

He's at a really fun age and tries to mimic lots of things he sees us doing. I guess I must blow my nose a lot because he will walk around with a tissue and blow air from his nose into it. It really cracks me up and my sister thinks it is so funny and cute. He's such a cutie!

Talking on the phone.

Reading a book.

So serious!
