Pleeease let that happen to us too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-start-showing-independence#post-891997 Thu, 27 Jun 2013 21:51:26 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 891997@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Lol!!! OMG I'd love for E to take his behind to his crib! ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-start-showing-independence#post-890523 Thu, 27 Jun 2013 16:52:50 +0000 lovehoneybee 890523@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I can't pinpoint it exactly when but over the past month or two E's definitely been developing an independence streak! He won't let me feed him anything by hand anymore--he wants up grab it from me and put it in his own mouth. Usually the same with a spoon or toothbrush. When he doesn't want a water bottle or paci when offered he'll smack it away. </p> <p>He has a new habit of trying to pull my shirt/bra down to nurse, which I'm not okay with. I say no, pull him away and try to redirect his attention but half the time he gets really pissed off. He's also taken to hitting me when he nurses. I often have to hold his arm to me. </p> <p>He also does a cute thing when he's really tired and ready for a nap--he'll crawl/cruise/walk(!!!) over to his crib, hold onto it, and yell until I put him in (and he goes right to sleep). </p> <p>Sigh, I can't wait until he can use words!</p> <p>How's your LO's behavior these days? </p>
