Since my son turned one 've noticed a massive change in him. He now throws tantrums when you tell him no, he hates going in the bath when he did love it and numerous other things.... where my calm poeaceful baby gone????

He's still the apple of my eye though!

Ah, some bits will come back, some are gone forever (unfortunately not the tantrums). They change so much, so quickly. Enjoy it!

Baby Camrat has turned one already? :o Where does the time go, it doesn't seem any time at all since you were posting about his birth? :)

He's just discovered that he's a person in his own right ... now he's beginning his campaign to rule the world! He might not be able to talk very well right now, but he'll be understanding a lot!

Lots of fun and frolics ahead ... ;)

Tell me about it Ruby :).

He definatley understands what you are saying to him, and he's decided he doesn't like the word no! LOL!
I must admit, I expected the tantrums would always appear (being strong and not giving in to them though), but it's little things like his attitude to the bath that has surprised me. He cant bear to even sit down in it and now stands up crying to come out..... and don't even talk about washing his hair!!!

Hahahaha - welcome to the world of toddlers! Search for my thread on Toddler frightened of bath time! And you think you've got it bad! Happy to report that particular phase only lasted about 8 months!!!!:hihi: (though not so :hihi: at the time!!!!) then they move onto the next one! It's all good fun! (and so they tell me!)

Just read that thread LOL! Glad to know it isn't just me who's going/gone through it!

My one year old is same he went through the bath stage and so did his sister. I found not making a big deal and making the bath quick helped. As for the tantrums i've found 1 much worse than 2, i put it down to frustration and once my daughter was able to talk it helped alot.

Thankfully Baby Alien (13.5 months) still loves his baths, but sometimes prefers them to be shorter than other times. He does hate the hairwash now though, when he always loved that, right from when he was tiny.

What has been helping me has been signing with him. I eased off on signing for a bit to allow his brain to work on walking (like I did when he was trying to crawl, or else his poor little brain would end up overloaded) but he's still not hugely thrilled about walking unaided, so I thought 'blow it' and went back to signing lots with him. This means he's stopped tantruming when I change his nappy and is getting better when he's tired (except he still bites when he's tired - nearly took off his Dad's nipple last night!). He doesn't like the sign for 'NO' though, hehe!

Of course, now I've decided to stop worrying about walking unassisted (because he was so nearly there) and started signing, what has he been doing today? Practicing unassisted walking, of course, lol!
