He's big into his board books and has to play with them before bed and morning. I didn't mention that he doesn't just pass out when he's exhausted, he keeps going in his crib until he does pass out. We're thinking about having him play in nursery a bit before bed to make the transition better. I also know that he's close to communicating too, so it's an onslaught of growth that results in a wild man. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/almost-a-year-old-and-totally-crazy#post-1009729 Mon, 12 Aug 2013 09:35:35 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 1009729@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think it's a point in time where they understand that their actions get a reaction out of you. It was really tough for us from about 12-16 months. But it does get A LOT better. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/almost-a-year-old-and-totally-crazy#post-1009715 Mon, 12 Aug 2013 09:33:30 +0000 cascademom 1009715@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Does a baby go crazy around 11-12 months? For the past couple of weeks, LO has been a screamy mess in the mornings especially on the changing table. I came into the nursery with a bottle doing our morning routine. He was fine until he started to flip out. He screamed, woke up DH, and then calmed down after some formula. </p> <p>Then, when I attempted to change him, the screams started up again. DH came into the nursery and helped a bit. To combat the screaming in the morning, I've been playing Barenaked Ladies' kids album on my iPhone to calm him down enough to change him. </p> <p>He's fine until I take him to daycare where he brings on the dramatics. I'm determined to just hand him off, so there's no reaction from me, so he can't go nuts. I've been working on that.</p> <p>Do babies just go crazy around 12 months old? I don't know where his crazy morning routine stuff came from though. </p>
