LO jealousy

Have your LOs shown jealousy when you're holding or playing with another baby? 

We visited my friend and her baby a few days ago and DS was totally fine, until I held the baby. Then he got all clingy and laid his head on my lap, whining "Mama, mama, up." When DH tried to comfort him, DS slapped his hands away and hugged my legs. I handed the baby over and DS immediately curled up in my lap and sucked his thumb, which he only does when he's sick or hurting. 

We are in trouble in about 30 weeks...

haha yes! This just happened yesterday. A friend's baby is just learing how to walk and the baby had her hands on my legs while she was "talking" talking to emery and emery got oddly jealous and pushed the baby to crawl up into my lap. Weird.

Hasn't happened so far but they don't like me anyways 8-|

They do get upset and will push me away if I hug their daddy.

Kellen goes ballistic when I hold another baby. Like, its one of the things that probably gets him the most upset that I know of. We are talking full on crying and tears and trying to climb up my legs.

He even gets like this when I hold my dogs. I will pick one up and he will go from happily playing by himself to full on crying and, if I am sitting, he will try and push the dog out of my lap and crawl in. The dogs hate it when he does it and I'm not a huge fan either. My sister is due in January and it will be pretty interesting to see how Kellen reacts to his Mimi and Grandaddy having a new baby in their lives. I am hoping his baby cousin will help him get ready for whenever he is no longer the only child (not anytime soon).

Not too much with other kids, but the other day SIL heard me say that Mr. Turkey was kicking, so she came across the room and put both hands on my belly.  Em saw her and FREAKED.  She cried until SIL stopped and then came and climbed in my lap.
Same thing happened like a week later when my mom did it.  But for some odd reason she's totally fine with me holding my nephew.  Maybe it would be different if it was a kid she doesn't know well?
