I have a fussy baby.
His fuss isn't like a lot of babies. He doesn't just start screaming right off the bat. He has this wind up that starts with an almost coughing sound, then little sustained cries, then longer cries, then angry/yelling/catlike crying.
He fusses when he's hungry, when he wants his pacifier, when he needs a diaper change (on occasion), when he's sleepy, when he wants to be held, and every time I leave him alone for more than 10 seconds. Basically, he's like every other baby out there when it comes to fussing.
It may sound weird, but I love him for it.
After having such a scare and almost losing him, it's encouraging to hear him fussy, to hear him be active. I would be lying if I said it wasn't frustrating at times, but I wouldn't give it up for the world.
I remember feeling that way. :-) And I loved when all he wanted was to be held. So sweet, those moments!
ReplyDeleteTotally. It's great to feel needed by such a tiny little guy.
