My husband only understands proven facts

Help me find something to show him that a 5 month old does not understand what "no" means or scolding. He tried telling him "thats enough fussing Parker, NO" in a stern voice the other day 
and unfortunately it stunned Parker into stopping and looking at him so now he thinks he understood, when in fact he just surprised him and then I grabbed him so he was happy afterward.

Re: My husband only understands proven facts
LOL!
DH likes to "yell" at Ryan "No crying! That's enough Mr. FussyPants" but then he starts laughing, so Ryan usually does too. Now DH thinks it works.
I mean...as long as he's not truly scolding him...I don't think it could hurt. I tell Frankie "No." when she's fidgeting so much during her bottle that I can't keep the nipple in her mouth.
If they understand signs at this age (and just can't sign them to us) why can't they learn what "no" means?
O no, he was truly trying to scold him... hence me swooping in and taking over holding him.
Oh...then yeah. That's not going to do much good. However, sometimes us parents have just had "enough". Maybe he just needed some down time from Parker to cool off. Good job coming in to "save the day"!
