Frustration
Adlai has been doing a lot of yelling recently and when I say yelling I mean, repeating "uuuuh!" for several minutes without a breath at a decibel level so high that we've started using sign language around the house because we just can't hear. Whenever I'm nursing/changing/playing with him and Matthew leaves the room he looks at me as if I'm chopped liver and yells for his Dad's expedient return. He yells at the toys which are too complex or too far away. He is almost always a dinner time yeller - squashing any chance at table conversation.
Last night he was yelling at dinner and reaching for the container of food when we realized the yelling was about feeding himself. So we gave him the spoon and the bowl and he stopped yelling! Until he tried to get the mush into his mouth. "UUUUUUUUUUUUHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
