NO!

So, I don't really know how early to start teaching your kids what "no" means. In our ignorance, we've figured the earlier the better. Our house is pretty baby-proof so we don't have too many instances where we have to say no to Audrey. The only thing we really don't want her to do is take trash out of the trashcan. What does she want to do every time she get into the kitchen? You guessed it. Here are a few pictures of "the mischievous one" at work. What you can't see is her looking at you, nodding her head from side to side, and then proceeding to open the trashcan lid. So what do you think readers, is it too early at 11.5 months to begin to teach her "no?"

I told her "no" in the nursery when she tried to eat a bunch of Cherrios that had fallen on the fall. She listened :-)

And just for the record her adorableness (that might not be a word) is off the charts!!

It's totally not too early. You will still probably have to say it over and over again about the same things before she gets it, but it will work. I'm pretty lucky that Ellie understands that things go in the garbage can but they don't get to come back out. By the way, good job on the baby-proofing. Being the bad parents we are Keith and I have not baby-proofed anything.
