Jude is at a frustrating stage. Not frustrating for me, but for him.
He clearly knows what's what and is understanding concepts, yet, he does not know how to express himself, neither verbally nor with body language.
I can tell this irritates him. When he gets tired, he cannot tell me so. Instead, he arches his back and cries when I'm holding him. I think he wants down, so I put him down, wherein he crawls up to me, pulls himself up on my leg, and complains. I pick him up, and he arches his back again. Heh.
I know it means he's tired now. Usually if I rock him or feed him at this point, he's good for a nap or to bed for the night. He sometimes resists this, too. He'll eat a little, sit up and look around, eat, sit up, repeat. It's like he does not want to be tired. Not when he could crawl around and explore.
I have to put him in his crib, he cries and cries, I pick him up once to soothe him/and or finish him off feeding wise, and then he is down for the nap or for the night.
He's asleep right now. What a cutie. I think any day now he will start waving and clapping his hands. He's close. He already scoots/crawls really fast, and pulls himself up and cruises. He is also uttering noises quite close to dadadada and mamamama. He "talked" a lot today. He's getting quite verbal.
And he loves his books. What a cool kid.
