Obsessions

I just wanted to take a minute and record a few things that Callum is into at the moment. He is SO CUTE right now I can barely stand it. He is talking like crazy and putting three words together to make little sentences. He also understands EVERYTHING. We have these door stoppers that are new at our new house and he was going through taking them all off the walls. We told him it was a "no touch" and now he walks around getting really close to each one without touching it and says in a very authoritative voice "No Touch!". He also tells us when he has a poopy and if he has a diaper rash he goes "bum hurt!" or "pee-pee hurt!" I just love it. He'll point to himself and say "Caggum" when he meets other little kids and he loves to give kids hugs and kisses. I love this little boy. Now to the point of my post, here are the things he is into right now:


  • Chocolate milk. This is his first love, and if we let him it would be all he ingests ever. He asks for "coco milk" about ten thousand times a day.
  • Elmo, Cookie Monster, Big Bird and Grover. He isn't into watching the show, but he LOVES the characters! His new favorite is "Cookie Mo-mo". 
  • Pixar. He is so into Toy Story, Nemo, and Cars. He calls them Buzz, Nemo, and McQueen, respectively. His new favorite right now is Nemo. He loves the whale scene and the turtles, but especially little Nemo. He also loves Buzz. Woody is okay, but Buzz is special. He loves to go around the house saying "And Beyond!!" thrusting his arm into the air. 
  • He still loves animals and his new favorite is horses. He still goes around asking about Apple-horse? 
  • He LOVES modes of transportation. Airplanes, helicopters, motorcycles, police cars, fire trucks, trains, buses, you name it. If he finds one, he points to it and shouts its name over and over and over until it passes.
  • He loves to dance. He'll just hear music and rock out on his own. I love it.
  • He is so into saying his colors. Sometimes he's right, sometimes he's not, but either way he says his colors everywhere. He is particularly into the color orange. (Or at least saying it? But he's right most often with orange).
  • He likes to count down the stairs. He's just repeating us but he loves to do it. 
  • He loves Crosby. He always asks where "Cwoz" is and tries to feed him a bottle, hug him, hold him, and just loves to see him. It melts my heart. 
  • He says his own prayers now. We'll start and he'll repeat us but he knows what he's saying. He bows his head and folds his arms and says about two words at a time. 
What can I say, I am enamored of this little boy. He is more and more fun every day and he has the sweetest, funniest little personality. Actually he has a HUGE personality. People stop us all the time and comment on how gregarious and charming he is. He is a total joy.

I had a great visit with Ryan and Callum about an hour ago. He is so smart and sweet. He is really putting his words together. It was such fun "talking" with him. I love that he can say Gram ma, papa, Gramp pa and knows us. So many new words!! It was such fun. Love and miss he and Crosby so much!! Also you and Ryan. Love your blog and all pictures.
