My daughter is 7 weeks old. She is also starting to become more active. If you pick her up she is constantly moving around watching everything. If you put her down she will stay nice and quiet for a while, until you decide to walk away and then the crying starts. Oh man can she cry. Like the screeching sound of a banshee. From volume 0 to 11 in 1 second back to 0 as soon as you pick her up.
