Two of my sister-in-laws had babies right around the time I did. After hanging out with their kids, I'm for sure that Ryker, 5 months, is a high needs baby! I actually asked my husband if he thought our baby was mean. It's good to know that I'm not alone. From colic to the now teething issues, Ryker has always been way intense. He is now in this pinching mode and it's really annoying, i have little bruises on my arms, but how do you get across "no" to a 5 month old? He is an amazing kid, very smart, and very determined. Instead of the fussy crying hold me stuff, he just gets mad and yells; at mom, dad, doctors... I love how unique he is, but sometimes I wish he was more cuddly! And I would like to be able to go out with my husband for a date and not worry about the sitter getting screamed at the whole time!
