Teething - The Horror
It is most likely teething-related. LittleRitz had no teeth until after age one and then started getting them all at once - it seems like they come in in 2's and 4's so Vietbabe may have another one that you haven't noticed yet.
LittleRitz was extremely clingy during the teething period - I think that they can't understand why they are in pain or that it is only a temporary situation and are looking for you to make things better. Once the teeth came in, he was back to his usual self. The only thing that seemed to really help was Tylenol or Motrin. Orajel would give him some relief for a few minutes but wore off quickly. I also tried one of those teethers that can go in the refrigerator (or freezer although the directions say not to put it in the freezer - I did but not to the point where it was frozen solid). That also seemed to help. The best thing that I can say about teething is that it doesn't last forever.
Good luck.
