8 month old seems grumpy

My happy smiley baby appears to have been replaced with a grumpy diva. She is a lot less smiley and seems to cry at anything and everything (fake crying) and she also seems more lethargic than usual. she still has no teeth yet and is drooling a lot more but other than that her daily routine is fairly the same. I'm hoping some teeth are going to pop up soon but no signs yetConfused

Anyone else gone through this, what was the cause?

Me! Exactly the same so very little help to offer.

Very grumpy at times for a few weeks now; lots of shouting and shrieking. Almost like a tantrum but surely she's too young for that?! Just learned to crawl so i thought that would solve some frustration issues but hasn't yet. She can still be made to laugh and play so I don't think anything serious is going on. She has several teeth but suspect more coming.

I was thinking it could be tummy ache for increased solid food/more variety of solid food or teething. Or just a developmental stage - the developments seem to be coming thick and fast right now!

Thanks for your reply Overtired123 I have the same issue, she will play and laugh but is just not as happy and relaxed as before. She too has just started crawling and sitting herself up from laying flat. I thought she'd be less frustrated but obviously not 🙈 hopefully just a phase
