Big Feelings in a Little Body



This lil guy had what I would categorize as his first big fit.  Yesterday for reasons unclear to us he went from contentedly playing at my feet to screaming crawling and crying all the same time.  When he started crying I said come here Miles which unleashed the angry baby who then proceeded to scream and crawl forwards then backwards then sit and repeat.  I got up and picked him up and cradled him in my arms.  As he looked at me with scared tear stained eyes I asked did you have some big feelings there baby.  Miles responded by giving me his oh face and then screamed some more.  I just held the poor dear a bit tighter and told him it was ok we all have big feelings sometimes and that I was here to help him work through it.

He finally calmed down and then nursed like a newborn with such large searching eyes.  If this is a foreshadowing of what is to come, we are in for quite a ride!

Oh, and lest you find it cruel that we took this picture while he was going through his first big emotional upheaval, you can rest easy knowing that Phil snapped this picture a few nights prior when Miles started crying because I walked down the stairs without him!
