Is this normal for a 10mo?

My LG will sit and play sometimes but she is doing all the other stuff, whining, hitting, scratching, etc so I think that's pretty normal

Yes I could literally write this!!😂 my boy has been exactly the same ever since he turned 8 months and started crawling & pulling up. He now spends 90% of his time standing at the sofa next to me, whining to come up but doesn't actually want to be up. I can't play with him on the floor as he's simply just not interested. Treats me as a climbing frame 24/7 and will play with anything other than his toys😅 he will pull my hair if he can get hold of it, and he grips onto my nose or mouth which often scratches

Sounds like my son too 😭

My little girl is exactly the same. However, I lean in to it instead of fighting it. I put her toys on the sofa, close to me, and she stands up on the floor and plays on the sofa. Eventually, she comes over and hugs my legs. I will put some nursery rhymes on in the background and they will do a bit of entertainment too.

As to the hair and scratching now is a good time to start teaching 'gentle handies'. And showing what you mean and just holding their hand when they go a bit too hard.

I still have times where she whines constantly but it's usually out of boredom. So I have a playmat down stairs, a playmat upstairs and a playpen in the garden to switch it all up

Yes exact same here too
