Super active baby. Anyone else please?

[MammEEE]

Anyone else in same boat? 7 month old DS is relentless. Always moving, on the go, interested in everything..just constantly hyper. He's exhausting.
We go to baby groups and I just watch some other babies sat there all through the hr without moving. Meanwhile my DS is rolling, shouting, chewing on everything, touching everything he can, crawling non stop. He's got an amazing little personality but my god he is exhausting
Please say I'm not alone with a child like this.

You have just described my 8 month old. He's been super alert and active since birth. I think they call it 'spirited'. He has a brilliant personality but man is he EXHAUSTING! And so loud! He laughs and shouts and babbles so loudly and is a really cheerful baby overall but also whinges and whines loads - I think he's frustrated cos he can't do everything he wants (he can only crawl backwards and sideways at the moment!). We go to baby groups too and I watch in wonder the babies who will just sit or lie quietly. What is this sorcery 😂

Ahh yeah mine is cheerful too but if he's not he whinges. It's just non stop whatever he does. Yes I guess spirited would suit the description wonder what they're going to be like when they're older. I mean surely they've got to calm down some time?!

I know, I keep thinking surely he'll settle down a bit.... but I've been waiting for no the for that to happen! I've been told thst after they complete each developmental milestone like crqeing and walking they're happier as they're less frustrated? I ca believe that... my boy can only army crawl backwards and in circles at the moment but he is desperate to go forwards. He is so frustrated that he will whinge loudly while sliding backwards, get annoyed thst he isn't going forwards, try even more desperately, go backwards even faster and whinge even more then eventually dissolve into sobbing 🙄 utterly exhausting!!

I guess it does get a little bit easier. Only a little though. My LO was going backwards and was getting frustrated same as yours. Especially when he had his eyes on a toy or something and instead of getting closer to it he kept getting further away
He's been crawling forwards for a couple of weeks now but now he's trying to pull himself up on furniture and stand..which he can't do very well so he gets frustrated again maybe when he starts walking..

Hahaha that's exactly what my boy is going!! How long did it take for your son to go from army crawling backwards to actual forward crawling?
Oh god there's always something isn't there 😳

My nearly 6 month DD is like this. She laughs the loudest and complains the loudest - I love that about her but she’s exhausting! I try to do a class a day to tire her out and the leaders always comment on how alert she is.

Some of my NCT friends can do lazy lunches for a couple of hours with their babies sitting on their knees like Maggie from the Simpsons. DD would be bored in about ten minutes so I have to decline!

I think it took him about a month or so to go from sort of crawling backwards to going forward. One morning he just did it.
There really is always something, as soon as they learn one thing it's countdown to the next.

Ahh I don't blame you for declining lunch with the calm babies that like to just sit and look around nicely. When going out for meals my LO is only happy whilst he's eating. As soon as he's finished that's it, wriggling and whining starts as he's ready to go. Well to be fair he even wriggles and makes lots of noises whilst he eats but once he's finished it gets louder

I also go to a baby group most days to tire him out the worst is when I'm stuck at home with him all day, I can't even put it into words how exhausting it is..So I try to get out.

Hahahaha we should start a club. We also go to baby groups most days. And spend a LONG time outdoors, visiting places, going for walks... I agree staying at home all day is the worst!
A 2 hour lazy lunch with the NCT lot and their extremely well behaved, passive babies sounds like my idea of hell. My boy would also be wriggling around in 10 minutes looking for his next adventure. Make that 5 minutes. On a good day 😂 and they'd all be staring at me wondering why my child can't sit still. I met a friend and her baby in a cafe last week. She was half an hour late. My little boy had been soooo good sitting in the high chair but after half an hour he was obviously bored and ready to make a move and she couldn't understand why I didn't stay much longer 🙄
