We can completely tell we almost have a toddler now. If you have ever been around or had a toddler then you know what I mean. Gavin has a mind of his own and he is one determined little boy. In the past week he has learned how to throw mini-tantrums when taken away from something and told "no." He throws himself backwards and kicks his tiny feet! Right now it is kind of funny because it is new and short-lived. However, I know as he gets bigger so will the tantrums. It is just a matter of time! I love his strong-willed personality though and I wonder where it comes from.
We are also working on teaching Gavin some sign language. Mostly because he grunts instead of saying words and he is good at waving and pointing so we figure that learning some sign language will help him communicate and reduce his frustration. We are starting out with simple words such as eat, milk and more. Yesterday while eating cheerios he actually signed the word "more" a couple of times. He has not done it since, but hey, it's a start!
