Ambition, Meet Reality

We've been bracing ourselves for full infant mobility for a couple of months now, ever since our daughter progressed from simply rolling over to the insane corkscrew.  She's sitting up (mostly), scooting in circles, and can hold onto small objects for longer than 8 seconds before they skitter across the floor, and every progression has delighted her as much as it has us.  In the last week, though, she's hit a wall, and she ain't likin' it.

Now that she's started exploring all the things her body can do, she wants to do more MORE MORE!  She'll twist like rotini to reach toys, piping hot coffee mugs, and discarded magazines, but half the time they'll be just out of reach, or she'll accidentally trap herself behind a pillow or the impenetrable padded bars of her activity mat. (Is it wrong that this makes me laugh?)  She has learned something new through this process:  how to express frustration.

Our sweet, well-mannered daughter has now taken to making "Eeeeh...eeeeeh!" noises constantly.  I walk away and it's "eeeeeeh....eeeeeeh!"  We pick her up and it's "eeeeh....eeeeeh!"  Declaring "whining will not be tolerated" doesn't seem to be working, and my wife's pleas of "kill me now" are still illegal in this state.  I feel for the poor girl--being teased by so many exciting, out-of-reach objects without the power of the Force at her disposal--but we need to work on a more pleasant way to express it.  Is it too early to teach her swear words?
