In the last few days TTG has started shaking his head “no” and it’s adorable! We don’t generally say “no” to him, preferring to use words that give him a little more information such as “yucky” or “not for babies” or “hot” or whatever. He’s shaking his head if offered food or a toy that he doesn’t want, and he’ll point to the food/toy that he does want. Just so cute. He also does it if he’s touching something he knows he shouldn’t, like the tv cabinet.
He’s made up his own sign for “tired” – he pats his head. He’s been doing this for maybe a month. I’ve always stroked his head/hair as he’s gone to sleep so I’m guessing this is where it’s come from. He hasn’t used any “real” signs yet.
The day he started walking he also started stacking blocks too. I remember reading about Mrs Spock’s boy doing the same a while ago and thinking it would never happen.
And it looks like we may be slowly on our way out of a potty pause, which is nice! He’s still BFing a heap, and still being worn daily as well, really getting into backwrapping now and loving it.

Go TTG! I love when J shakes his head “no”, even when it is refusing the spinach I painstakingly washed, cooked, and chopped.

I love the sign for tired. It sounds adorable.
