Well we are not sure if Ajax is congested due to an incoming tooth or just a little cold, either way it has made him a frustrated little baby. Along with the general frustration of a stuffy nose, he has been getting frustrated with little things that just make you kind of laugh.
He now gets mad if you take something away from him; he is no longer immediately distracted by something else because he remembers the thing he had before! He has also been screaming lately. Now this is an attention grabbing, high pitched yell that makes you cringe. When we are at home it’s kind of funny, in public however it’s a different story.
Today we were out and about. He was great at Target and was happy in Best Buy for a short time. Then he somehow managed to get ahold of a paper pamphlet and began chewing on it. When I realized what he had I tried to do an old switch a roo on the kid and gave him a teething toy. He started screaming, I mean screaming! The kid who was helping us, started working at a quick clip in the hopes of getting us out of the store as quickly as possible, while other patrons stared at us. Ajax was not interested in much else except for that piece of paper he couldn’t have.
Some other new developments – He’s also started holding his bottle by himself. He’s been doing this on and off for a while, but starting Friday night, he immediately grabbed the bottle from Dave and was like, yea Dad I do this now. So ok there you go.
