Developments

Last week, Little Guy learned how to:

• Shake his head, very emphatically, while emitting a grievous sound ("Bwhaaaa!") when taken away from something he wants, when offered one spoonful of food too many, when confronted with a wipe for his nose, when carried upstairs (for diaper changes or naps or other insults) while others are having fun downstairs.
• Raise his arms straight above his head and pull his shoulders inward to make it almost impossible to lift him when he doesn't want to be carried.
• Arch his back when an attempt is made to deposit him into his carseat.
• He also recognizes the words/phrases: Cheerios (looks at pantry expectantly), all done (calms down when you tell him you're doing doing things he doesn't enjoy), Gillian (looks for her), Daddy, yogurt (big smile--yogurt is the new banana.  Bananas are so two weeks ago.).
