First "No"

This week Dax has a cold. He learned that by shaking his head "no" he can keep me from wiping his nose or effectively giving him medicine. He has also been using his new talent for keeping the spoon full of food he doesn't want out of his mouth. He is performing it cute here, but he can get his head whipping back and forth pretty fast when he needs to.

Also, highlighted in the video is Dax's new fetish of pointing and touching everything. He has started even just pointing at me and grunting when he wants picked up. Anytime I carry him anywhere all he does is point, point, point at all the things he doesn't remember touching IE: door knobs, light switches, blinds, mirrors, counters, walls, etc, etc, etc. Sometimes I find myself in peculiar postitions trying to let him touch what it is he wanted. The other day I was in the middle of my living room lifting Dax up as high as I could with his feet on my face because he really wanted to touch the ceiling fan. Even if his Mom wasn't so short, he wouldn't have been able to touch the vaulted ceiling's fan, but I love his interest in the world around him. It is so fun!

I'm sure in a couple years I'm not going to think that Dax telling us "no" is THIS adorable!
