Energetic. Expressive. Enthusiastic. Curious. These are all complimentary descriptions of Chase, but perhaps more accurate descriptions would be...CRAZY. HYPER. SPASTIC. LOUD. Is it possible for an infant to have ADHD? I’m a mother of three boys and I expect them to be active, but the child does NOT sit still unless he’s sleeping (and if you’ve read my earlier post you know that’s not for long)! When his legs aren’t constantly kicking and arms flailing (he’s usually doing this while smiling and grunting which is why I call this his “happy dance”), then he’s stretching and reaching for ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING within reach (or not) and, of course, immediately “studying” it by putting it his mouth. Did I mention he’s not even seven months old yet? To say he’s determined and motivated is an understatement. Maybe it’s because he has big brothers to keep up with. Or maybe, compared to mellow Ella, anyone would seem unusually active. Either way, Chase has places to go, things to do and people to see, so get out of his way. I’m not sure if I should be impressed by his initiative to comprehend and be part of the world around him or if should be worried that he acts like he has just had a pot of coffee (all day long). No matter how you look at it, there is no question that life with Chase will be anything BUT boring… I do have one question, though…how is he not utterly exhausted? I know I am. And he’s not even crawling yet.
See what I mean?
