(oh, and it coincided with teething, so we have a grumpy, drooly, snot-monster on our hands. awesome). He's also gone into MOMMY mode and will sometimes cry for me when DH has him, which frustrates everyone.<br /> I've actually found that talking or singing REALLY loudly (like, top of my lungs, make the neighbor dogs howl loud) to him while I'm trying to do something else will sometimes fascinate and distract him long enough for me to, say, shower, or get dressed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/9-month-neediness#post-39038 Wed, 21 Dec 2011 11:20:52 +0000 SAHM0811 39038@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i remember this. they get super clingy!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/9-month-neediness#post-38993 Wed, 21 Dec 2011 10:54:11 +0000 chopsuey 38993@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh joy! DH is traveling all of Jan and Feb so I get the needy bundle of love all to myself. Seriously. I jumped out of the shower soaking wet with shampoo still in my hair because she was screaming bloody murder. Thought she had gotten hurt!<br /> Gonna have to do stuff when she's napping. But napping time is my HB time! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/9-month-neediness#post-38990 Wed, 21 Dec 2011 10:52:22 +0000 pelikila 38990@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Separation anxiety seems to be kicking in. It has hit us hard and is escalating at 10 months for us. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/9-month-neediness#post-38986 Wed, 21 Dec 2011 10:50:08 +0000 Rubies 38986@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was at a playdate yesterday and one of the babies is 9 months old and is experiencing the same thing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/9-month-neediness#post-38977 Wed, 21 Dec 2011 10:45:00 +0000 Mrs. Sunglasses 38977@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It sounds like separation anxiety. I've been through it.<br /> <a href="http://www.babycenter.com/0_separation-anxiety_145.bc" rel="nofollow">http://www.babycenter.com/0_separation-anxiety_145.bc</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/9-month-neediness#post-38970 Wed, 21 Dec 2011 10:41:49 +0000 chopsuey 38970@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO is 6 days shy of turning 9 months old. Wow! Time flies.<br /> She's been super super needy lately.<br /> I can barely brush my teeth, shower, wash the dishes.. you get the picture.<br /> Maybe it's because DH has been out of town this week? Is this the beginning of separation anxiety? </p> <p>Anyone else experience the 9 month needies? </p>
