Ally has started to say no. It's not really what I expected yet though. For that I'm grateful. She hasn't made it to that stage where it can only be screamed at 100 dB. Instead, she usually starts out pretty calmly and matter-of-factly and says no. If, however, you fail to stop doing whatever (for example: offering her something she doesn't want to eat) or continue doing something she doesn't want you to (for example: putting her in her car seat), she changes her tone a little.
I know she's not a teenager, but they are the only beings I know of capable of making that sound. It's kinda of a cross between "You're not listening to me", "That's the stupidest thing I ever heard", and "I'm about to lose control and sream at you". With a little sarcasm thrown in.
I can't wait...
