Grant always gets super grumpy when he is on the brink of development. He's been using more words lately and now I think he is to the point where he knows exactly what he wants and he almost knows exactly how to tell me about it. It's the 'almost' that gets him frustrated. Instead of trying and doing it wrong, he will just point and whine. In the pictures above he was trying to ask me for his fire truck box. I was trying to make him use his words.
A sampling of his favorite words lately:
Daddy
truck
watch
couch
touch
amen
book
a host of sound effects for his toys
yeah
no (he just shakes his head. I'm glad he hasn't started saying the word.)
ball
He doesn't use them all the time, but we hear him use these and other new words in correct context often. I need to be better about not reading his body language all the time and helping him ask. He is just so good at whining... not to mention that when he gets what he wants he instantly transforms from what you see above to this:
Who could resist?
Things that make him really happy lately:
playing with his dad
cars, especially trucks
pasta
cucumbers
his blanket
being outside
following Grace around all day
snuggles and songs before bed
giving big kisses
books
The Wiggles
