Attitude anyone???

Last Friday, our little angel showed a new side of himself.

When we tell him “No” he no longer wants to listen to what we have to say and will sometimes let us hear about it.  In the past, we could tell him “No” and redirect his attention.  Now, if we tell him “No” and it is something he wants to do, Connor shows his attitude.

Our little boy is growing up.  🙁

We have also noticed that he is starting to get frustrated when playing with his toys.  He has some large lego blocks that he knows can be put together.  We put two blocks together and give it to him.  He quickly pulls them apart and then tries to put them back together.  He does not quite have the coordination to put them back together and after a few tries he starts to grunt and get frustrated.

To help him out, I ask him to bring it over and I put it together for him.  Then I take it apart and put it back together.  He watches so intently.  Then I take his hands and pull it apart and put it back together with his hands.  Again, he watches very closely.  He then goes off on his own and soon pulls it apart but cannot put it together.  On a couple of occasions, he has throw the blocks. He will learn soon enough…but it is so interesting/amazing to see how he has grow from being a 6+ pound, unable to move infant to a toddler trying to learn as much as he can.
