I am the proud mom of a 16 week old (this Sunday) little boy named Beau. Beau is extremely energetic, loves attention at all times. I know he loves me as he is always following me around, watching my every move, he sleeps with me, I am his main caregiver.

My problem is this. I don't know if it's because he's a puppy or what makes him do this. Anyway, when I get home from work, he is all over me, we have love time for about 15 minutes, then I make his dinner, he eats, then we spend about an hour playing with his toys, me throwing his stuffed animals, him running to get them and bringing them back for me to throw again, he chews on his nylabones, his greenies (when he does this, he brings them right next to me and lays down to chew on them for a few minutes).

As the evening progresses, he becomes less and less interested in me, sometimes wandering off into the kitchen and just laying on the kitchen mat in front of the sink, so I go to check on him and he seems disinterested, or like he's bored or pouting or something. So when I go to pick him up, he darts away from me and will not let me catch him. So many times I just want to pick him up and give him kisses and love and hold him, but he will have nothing to do with that. Every time I reach for him and say come here baby, he runs, then when I get close to picking him up again, he runs, but if I get frustrated and go sit back in the living room, then he comes in there wanting to get up on the sofa with me, then when I reach down to pick him up, he jumps back.

Why does he do that? Is he playing? Is he just being a puppy? Do I bore him? Is he pouting?
