I asked him who he was talking to, and he said Uncle X. I thought that was strange we aren't close to Uncle X, but whatever. Turns out somehow he really had called him and they had a whole conversation. But my phone was already locked at the time. LO knows how to call 9-1-1 (and when), but otherwise does not know how to unlock my phone to make calls.

She would come take my phone off the nightstand if she woke up before us and call my sister and her grandparents. Luckily she only called family and they think she's a pretty cute wake up call! The phase lasted a month or two, and now she knows to ask permission before calling people.

He calls DH this way too!

She's been flipping through pictures while I was getting ready and I hear my dad's voice! Still not entirely sure how she did it but we got a kick out of it. She has just turned threw.

We haven't worked on making emergency phone calls or phone calls to anyone yet so she isn't making calls. Has your LO made legitimate phone calls? To whom? How old were they when they made their first call?
