Screaming fits

M has been a delightful baby since birth.  He always had a set of lungs on him, but he rarely screamed or cried unless he needed something.  He hasn't ever really "lost it" . . . until now.  A week ago, we were at my in-laws for our weekly dinner and a family friend was there.  He was in the house about 10 minutes before totally losing it - screaming, crying, tears, the works.  I picked him up and cuddled him and he calmed down but was easily brought back to screaming-mode if someone got too close to him or talked to him. 

Then, on Sunday, it happened again at our spiritual house.  He has been there almost every week since birth but after the meeting, he was walking around with D and he lost it again. 

Yesterday, while being watched by my mom and MIL, he did it again. 

I think we may have crossed into the realm of over-stimulation + separation anxiety = screaming.  FUN!
