Please to explain

How is it that my generally sweet and easygoing child has now somehow transformed into a clingy banshee? This has to be a growth spurt, teething, something that will be over soon. The last three days have been less than pleasant as MR has refused to be put down without pulling his stiff-as-a-board act and crying, had more mood swings than me at nine months, and has just generally been a poo. I love my baby, I do I do I do, but this behavior is starting to grate. He has been through these sort of phases before, with separation anxiety and growing his six present teeth, but still. Fortunately he looks like this, so he gets away with it.

You're lucky you're cute pal
