Ty started a saying a new word today!

"NO!"

It comes out sort of like "DOE!" but it's very clear what he's saying, and what he means.

Am I in trouble or what? He's not even a year old yet!

Yeah we had a "DOE!" off, and we were both cracking up...maybe not my best way to teach him how to use, it but hearing him yelling over and over while smiling and pointing at me...was hysterical

I KNOW! I have known for a very long time this little one was going to give it to me everyday, all day, if he could. I've known it. Yet he never fails to impress me with all the ways he finds to drive the point home.

My sister bought him a baby doll for Christmas. Beautiful AA baby that you can fill with water and has a bottle. I was showing him the baby and how to feed him with the bottle while he was in his round about exersaucer (which he can run in circles in) and he grabbed the baby by the hair, leaned over the side so the baby was touching the floor, and ran in circles with the poor baby doll dragging along side. I had to rescue the baby doll cause it was too hard to watch. Tyler was laughing the whole time! I put baby away till I feel he's in a more nurturing state of mind.

Have I told you he whips the dogs with his link-a-do's??

He's a total brute. He's pulling up now too...I'm scared...

Ahh yes, you're in for it. (kidding...kind of) But he now can tell you when he doesn't want something, so that's good, right??

Oh he's always been able to tell me he doesn't want something. He throws it on the floor, or screams till I remove it from his presence. He did the finger up the nose, pull out my nose hair pinch today, and cut my nose and I was bleeding everywhere. That was while visiting my grandmother at the hospital, so I said gentle, and held his hands down to his sides for about 30 seconds (which he really dislikes, and said be gentle again when I let them go...That's when he screamed DOE! Right in my face. I hadn't even said no to him...that's what so surprising.

I love being a SAHM. I'm lucky I have eyebrows. He's rolling around on the floor right now playing with the dogs telling them Doe! Doe!

Maybe it's 'doh' like Homer Simpson?

That's what I mean by him being able to tell you...hopefully it will stop or lessen the nose hair attacks. Yikes.
