Hi all,
I have a 9.5 month old son who learnt to crawl, pull up and cruise (pretty much all at once) a few weeks ago.
He is now ALWAYS on the go and moving around. He can't sit still and gets upset if I try to put him in his travel cot/car seat etc. He is always climbing up furniture/walls/me.
He has now stopped 'playing' with his toys. He just doesn't seem interested anymore and just pushes everything out of the way in his quest to move across the floor and climb. Nothing seems to hold his interest (apart from the tv remote, pulling my hair and taking off my glasses) He is no longer content to sit on my knee, bit does like being carried around so he can look at things.
Does this sound normal? My PIL came around today and commented on how he never stops moving and my husband asked if I was feeling him energy drinks (obviously a joke)
I know this will make me sound ridiculous but I worry that this enery means there is something wrong and he's hyperactive. Am I just being a crazy first time mum? Should he be building towers and spending lots of time playing with his toys? He seems very happy and smiley and is meeting all milestones. Interestingly pop up/lift the flap books hold his attention really well and we spend a lot of time looking at them.
Thank you in advance for any help (sorry it's so long!)
