My LO was the same, he was a right miserable wee sod lol!
He is a fussy baby but since he learned to crawl its like a different baby, i think its just frustration the first few months as they want to be on the go.
Sounds daft but can you "walk" him round the room to let him move about a bit, do you have a sling?

Thank you guys for all your helpful answers. It might just be that he's a cranky baby, that's what my mom tells me. And yes, since he has been born, every time he cried someone picked him up automatically. And he'll stop crying and play with me for a while, until he gets bored. I noticed today that he's almost changed over night. Now if I put him down (even if he's happy) and walk away he'll start crying until I come back to him. He has a very angry cry lol. I've been trying to let him cry a little bit longer if it's one of his angry cries and he eventually stops, but I feel like such a bad mom for doing it. I really hope his mood gets better. It's a lot better now than it was a couple of weeks ago but I'm trying and wishing for the best.

I bought a papoose I think its called, and he loves it. But I cant carry him around in it all day because he wont let me sit down, even if he's in it lol. He can lift his upper body off the floor and is starting to bring up his knees like he's just going to crawl away. He's very clingy. He's starting to nap less and less as well, yesterday he took 2 naps, and they were about 10 to 15 minutes apiece!

I honestly think youve got one like mine (fussy baby) lol
Ivy isnt happy for 80% of the time she is awake and just likes to shout and cry alot but i think your heading for a wonder week too and they are super dooper fussy at these times. I know its not much help but it will ease eventually as he gains more independence and can entertain himself a little xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
