Anyone elses sweet lil babies becoming monsters

[hugsy]

Now dont get me wrong i love my little girl to bits but dear god in the last week she had turned into a right little madam

She is bored of all her toys and wants constant attention, even in her jumparoo which she loves i now have to be there with her playing with her while she is in it

As soon as i leave her she screams , then i come back to her and its all happy, sometimes she will keep screaming and i show her somehing new for a minute and not a problem all smiles again tilll thats old news its a constant battle to keep her amused

She also hates sittling in anything and lying down , as soo as i put her on the mat she puts her arms up and if i hold them she pulls her self up to sit and then up to a standing position and seems happy to just stand ( with me supporting her ) all day long just looikng around but my arms do be hanging off me lol

anyone else having this problem? she will be 17 weeks on sunday

What can I do to keep her entertained ? I know she is learning that crying gets what she wants but she goes soo hysterical i cant let her cry it out,

it sounds like she is just desparate to get around and is maybe a bit frustrated?

S got like this at about four months because she was so desparate to get around. She starting crawling just as she turned six months. She started crawling before she could even sit up lol.

We had this frustration, it is much better now he can sit and play with more grown up toys!! Have you read the wonder weeks book? I harp on about it the whole time but it is fab and saved my sanity a lot of times!! It explains that at certain times when they develop a lot they can become very fussy, it has been spot on with my lo every time!!

Thanks girls il see if i can pick it up this week, i feel horrible bein annoyed over her carry on i know she is just eager to learn but i dont want her getting too used to the whole " i cry she does what i want" thing either

am very proud of her for rolling from her back to her side ( i know not a biggie but seen as she hates tummy time so much it was a start for us lol) and she also stood up with her hands against the sofa for a good 10 seconds unaided so guess its doing her good at the same

Hun I am having the same with AJ. He cries for us but then gets fussy and frustrated cos he doesn't want to be held. He doesn't want his toys and can't sit up or go in a door bouncer, jumperoo etc yet cos of his head control. Hes so behind in his milestones physically but mentally he wants to be doing them. Its so frustrating for us both!!!!!!!!

same going on here, just wants to be up and about and gets pissed that shes so helpless. im sure it will get better when she can sit up on her own properly. she likes her walker for a bit cos she can actually move it a lil when she tries hard

 

[hugsy]

eoh thats a good idea bev might see if i can pick one up in the sales id say she would love it if she could move

god the amount of baby stuff in my house, were trying to find a new bigger place at mo so hopefully we will have room forher to go around in one and not run into stuff every foot lol
