Can we skip to age 3?

I know everyone goes through it. The TERRIBLE twos. I get it. But come on, Jake and I are SO OVER this. No. They aren't technically two...yet...but I seem to recall this happening to us with Elijah at this age as well. Sorta. Not quite on the same scale. Basically Jonah behaves the way Elijah does. He sometimes gets frustrated or throws a mini tantrum because he doesn't get his way but generally, he's a good kid. Noah on the other hand...not so much. The kid SCREAMS ALL..THE..TIME.Well, at least when we are home. At the store..not bad. At the Doctor when I want to tell him that I have a crazy nightmare child who is going to drive me absolutely bonkers ...not bad. At home...BAD! Especially when it comes to eating, playing, or sleeping..oh wait, that's all the time. He just wants me to hold him. Not JUST hold him. Walk him around while holding him. He wants me to hold him to sleep. He is driving me INSANE. I feel like a terrible mother. What did I do wrong? Why is he like this? More importantly, WHAT CAN WE DO TO MAKE HIM STOP?!  I will say that this has accentuated since he decided he was done with the crib and started climbing out. Did I mention before he can also climb over the baby gate? Fun times. The difficult thing is that he goes through stages where he will scream for HOURS even if I hold him. Talk about giving someone a headache. Literally. I think we need to stock up on Advil now. It is extremely hard to deal with this. I am at a loss of what to do with him. AUGH!

What kills me is that when he isn't screaming he's so stinkin' cute and loving.

Jonah's take on this? Well, today he came up to me jabbering away. Stopped. Looked at me. Pouted his lip. Fake cry. I said "Are you Noah?" Hysterical laughing and he runs away.
