Caelan and Terrible Total Toddler Transformation

Caelan is a month away from turning 2, but he is already a toddler and experiencing Terrible Two moments. He was such a sweet little baby, smiling at 5 weeks and laughing by 7. He was always playful and affectionate with hugs and kisses. Now he's becoming a toddler. It's inevitable.

He learned some growling and grunting techniques from Sara, the master of toddlerness. He will throw himself onto the floor, then get up and throw himself down again. (Usually he looks for a soft place first.)

He stamps his little feet and throws toys you give him as a peace offering. He shakes his head vigorously and will hold his fist behind his head to threaten. He does not respond well to "no," and says, "mine" often. He still has cute moments, but he's no longer the sweetest baby.
