Natural aggression


When Doc gets hungry and sometimes when we're playing he gets a wild look on his face and starts punching and pinching. He opens his eyes and his mouth wide and lunges for whatever he wants his mouth around. If he doesn't get the attention he wants, he's started screaming (not a playful baby scream but a jungle monkey holler) and then he'll laugh like he knows that he can get whatever he wants. I don't think 3 month old babies are supposed to know how to manipulate like that.
Alternatively, he is also very good at the snuggly baby part and really prefers things calm and peaceful. If he's not in the mood, he can get easily stressed out if he has too much direct stimulation. When there are new things around he gets very focused so too many new things wear him out pretty quickly.
