does she not like my sister?

At what age did you DC start begining unhappy with other people besides you and DH? Parker is 3 months and my sister came over today (who does come often) and Parker cried everytime she tried to touch her. I couldn't believe it. At first I thought maybe she was just cranky but I would make her smile and laugh then my sister would talk to her or touch her and she would cry. Can it happen this early?

Yeah...it's possible.

Matthew is 5 months old but when he was around 3 months he would cry hysterically the moment my brother went up to him and said hello or if he picked him up. Now he's used to him.

OMG this is so funny..I have a friend and her little girl goes absolutely spare when I make a fuss over her! She goes all miserable, her face crumples and she cries hysterically! she is a teensy tiny baby and she just shakes all over! Other people make a fuss over her and she coos and smiles, me, she goes hysterical! My friend tells me that her sister has similar hair and that Scarlett goes all hysterical when she makes a fuss over her too! She has done this since I met her when she was about 4 weeks old!!!

DD started doing that at 2 months, except it was everyone, including Dh at times. She would work herself up so badly she would stop breathing.

Now it's just my grandmother and my brother that can't go near her. I can give Gianna to people who don't see her as much as my bro, she'll stay with them but the second my bro hold her she cries bloody murder.

Who knows!!

ETA: My bro can play with her from a distance, but can't touch. Personally, i think he moves too quick and gets in her face too quickly and it scares her.
