Re: 's temperment-off topic-maybe

[Guest guest]

Hi Sara

Do you notice that he is sweating more than usual? Or are you just

all in all wondering about the temper change? Sounds like it might

be an age thing. My daughter turned into a little roudy when she

started crawling. (at 10months) I wasn't aloud to help, but oh lord

if I walked away it was OON. She went from happy go lucky to whine

all day long / cry to get her way / throw her hands up in the air

kicking legs if she didn't get her way. She is now 11 1/2 months

old and I think it got better. Still some days I can't go out of

her site and she starts crying. I think this might be something

they just have to go through. I am not the person to let her cry

things out, but I do not give in while she does a fit. I will pick

her up when she is done with her outburst. I don't know if this

helped at all. I hope it is age and not anything else. Also while

she teethed she wasn't all herself either.

Sara,

Jon sounds very normal. Kody did the same thing. For about 7 months

I could not have had a sweeter, easier baby. Then, as he started

scooting, crawling and finally cruising, he began getting supper

fussy and even mean. I do a lot of reading, funny I never found

anything on plagio or tort, and I read in many sources that they are

learning new things, and get very frusted that they can't do

everything they want to. Kody is a full fledge toddler, now. He is

getting soooo much better. Let's hope it continues that way!

Especially with the introduction of his band next week.

Hi Sara:

What about teething?? 9 mos olds are often teething which can

definitely cause irritablity & lack of appetite.

Otherwise, how's he progressing in his band?

9 months is prime teething time! Is he having several teeth coming

all at once?

I forgot, Kody had many teeth come in all at once about that time,

too. I don't know how I could ever forget that! He was never the

same when he teethed. Dr. Jeckyl and Mr. Hyde syndrome!
