I have a one year old - and teething was NEVER a big deal until the molars started coming in. I went to the pediatrician 2 times in 2 weeks - because I swore something was just. not. right. i am praying that is all it is - and that your sweet little guy gets back to himself ASAP.Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04533897341913339318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8191367444095035928.post-47081567913626461512010-05-31T17:56:54.382-04:002010-05-31T17:56:54.382-04:00It is so hard to get through weeks like this!

My daughter had horrible silent acid reflux and acted just like you described all the time until we figured it out and treated it. I say silent because you can't see it happening like with vomiting, but I bet it's going on with all the vomiting he was doing. <br /><br />I'll pray for you guys--((hugs))!Carla (Choosing His Joy)https://www.blogger.com/profile/10778253980228186373noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8191367444095035928.post-36961220114086725922010-05-30T22:31:37.928-04:002010-05-30T22:31:37.928-04:00Maybe the shots making Jonah grumpy?

I would vote for the teething, and I know tons of babies who are fine in the car so I don't think it is behavioral. He really has been given a bum deal and maybe he is just expressing his frustration the only way he knows how. If I had to wear something tightly wrapped around my arms and legs all the time I would fuss too. You are awesome! Oh, and thanks for the cute thank you for Jonah's watercolor. I didn't expect that. You are so busy. Hope you enjoy it and find room for it.

Some days she'd only have a couple of moments and others she'd have quite a bit more. I had no idea what was going on but did notice that once all her molars were in, she went back to normal (until the terrible twos reared its ugly head). The reason I wasn't sure of it being her teeth was because of the randomness of her crankiness. But I can't be for sure if this was it. It could have been a development stage for all I really know. But I just wanted you to know it could be his molars. Kids like to switch things up on us all the time. Hopefully he'll go back to his normal self soon.Bridgesfamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02493509789167542366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8191367444095035928.post-16875846734299560632010-05-30T01:12:39.521-04:002010-05-30T01:12:39.521-04:00Patrice,

If the weather isnt nice outside you can go to the local mall before it opens and walk inside (with the mall-walkers)...anything to get out of the house! <br />Also, does Jonah have a lovie/soothie? If there is a blanket or bear or such that he is especially partial too make sure you have that with you when you go out, maybe it can help bring him down a bit.Stefhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10818514323218238131noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8191367444095035928.post-32383885294654239272010-05-29T23:38:50.293-04:002010-05-29T23:38:50.293-04:00My son is almost 2 and we're just on the verge...My son is almost 2 and we're just on the verge of getting over a similar experience.
