Video: Frustration and the word "No"

Thursday, December 20, 2007

These videos are a little old. I think they're from early November and in baby-land that's ages ago. I was having problems with my computer, but here they are.

The first video was the first sign of Isabella's frustration. For the past month I wasn't sure if it was her personality or the stage she's currently in; but, then Ed got scared that maybe she got that from him. Boy does he get frustrated. Keep complicated and expensive stuff away from him or else it might get broken.

This video shows Isabella using "no" for the first time. At first it started out as a simple "no" and then it progressed to a string of no's and today it is with force and frustration. When she uses it, she means it. Sometimes she'll say no when I help her. But other times she'll say it out of the blue without any interaction with someone else. I think she is practicing it for future use!!!! I have to say it was a little cute back then (in the video), but today...no comment.
