DS1 is a highly spirited baby....he is 5-and-a-half months old and is a bit of a handful: bored easily, shouting/singing at the top of his voice all the time, kicking like mad all the time, trying to sit up,pulling himself up on the bars of his baby gym, already trying to crawl (and failing so just lies on his tummy screaming till i roll him back over, repeat ad nauseum, a million times a day!).
He is delightful as well, laughs his little head off if you tickle him, loves his bath etc, but my god by the end of the day with him I am a sweaty, exhausted, frazzled mess. He never just chills out like I see other babies doing, just lying on their mats.
Anyone else had a DC like this?? What were they like as a toddler??? More of the same, or did they calm down a bit once they could crawl/walk/get around? I feel like he is v frustrated at the moment...
