Such a little ham!

There is really no rhyme or reason for this post other than to add some cute pictures of Cael and to share some stories. He is just such a little ham and so funny (fuNNy)! First of all, he has the most infectious laugh and Ryan can really get him going by tickling his stomach or making funny faces. He is at the stage right now where he wants to EXPLORE everything. He grabs for paper, bags, drinks, cans, my hair.... EVERYTHING and it is both cute and annoying (only when trying to accomplish something and he is making it difficult - although usually I try to just stop and enjoy the moment because it won't last long). The other day, Cynthia (caregiver at daycare) was telling me that she would put a Velcro bib on Cael only to have him pull it off. He would then proceed to laugh at her when she put it back on. She repeated attempts to put a bib on him several times before giving up. To Cael, it was just a fun game!!!I love when I go pick him up from daycare and he just looks at my face and laughs like it is the funniest thing he has ever seen (makes me re-check my appearance in the nearest mirror, but other than that....)

We have also decided it might be time to start giving him his baths in the upstairs bathtub as opposed to the sink in the laundry room because he has discovered SPLASHING and he splashes with such enthusiasm that we are beginning to worry about the drywall!!

Another of my favorite things is when he wakes up in the morning and just talks and talks and talks (except for maybe on the weekends when he starts 'talking' at like 6:30 in the morning)! Then when you go into the room and he sees you he starts kicking his feet and babbling faster and faster because he is just so darn excited that finally someone came into get him so he can play!
