Sassy attitude at 17 months?

I swear, if my daughter wags her finger at my face and tells me "no no no no" one more time...I'll put myself in time out! LOL!
Seriously, she has such a sassy attitude! She has tried to also slap me, kick, etc. Any tips?

    We are trying to be really careful w/ the saying of no, no no, because we know that this could happen.  The same w/ the finger wag- my MIL said no no no no and wagged her finger @ DD when she was like 5 months old and I almost punched her out! 

    When DD does something that is unsafe we say STOP!  not no for this reason...

    yeah, i also have a sassy one (16 months, just about).  i dread the sassiness of a 2 1/2 year old, if she acts this way now!

    Haha- I think if you have a sassy one, no matter what words you use or don't use, you're just going to have a sassy one!  Tonight for the first time, while DD was crawling up the stairs, she turned around, shook her finger at me and said "Don't" b/c she didn't want me spotting her (she doesn't walk yet, I still worry about the stairs!!). 

    For the slapping I gave a firm no and walked away- every time.  It took 2 days.  I am the only one she hit.
