9 Baby Pet Peeves
Don’t take that thumb, lady. It’s mine!
Babies can have surprisingly strong opinions about things. This can be awesomely funny when it comes to the faces they make when they try new solid foods. Seriously, a grossed out face on a baby? Hilarious.
But sometimes babies get angry about things that seem insignificant to grown ups. My daughter? Hates sleeves. The process of getting her arms into sleeves – something I do multiple times a day now that it’s jacket weather – requires much screaming and thrashing about. Once the sleeves are in place, she’s cool but pulling fabric over her arms really, really, angers her. She also HATES riding in the car after dark. The crying from the backseat is so awful that I may have to disallow any activity that goes past 4:30 until the days lengthen. Ugh
I asked around to find out other baby pet peeves. Some make perfect sense but some? Well, babies know their own minds!

Daddy! Hold Me!
Yeah, swaddling or not being held or being held by papa...Mine was just generally grumpy. Thankfully, he's grown out of it! - Naomi

Socks Suck!
Socks! As soon as she walks in the door they are off, she is constantly being told to put socks on. Also, she loses her friggin' mind if there is a hair or a fuzzy in her bath water...Like hysterical until its removed. - Danielle

Hands Free!
Andy had bad excema, even on his face and he would scratch himself silly while it was healing, so he had to wear those goofy little baby mittens and he HATED them. Anything covering his hands or feet would set him wailing. - Juli

Hat Head!
Hats! He hates hats. If you get it on him he's fine and even preens a little, I think he dislikes hat hair... lol (one of the first things he said was "Pretty Hair" while petting his own hair...Um...) - Amanda

MORE ON BABBLE
My 2year old son hates bubbles in the bath. It’s the weirdest thing. He just stands up and screams bloody murder until we empty them back out. But he loves to play with bubbles that you blow around… Lol
