Attachment parenting

When you read child rearing books there are alot of styles of parenting out there.  I never red the books, I jus do what feels right.  Well, that worked for my older children, but this little one of mine, he thinks he should rewrite all thehouse rules.  He is definately into attachment parenting, Which means he wants to be held or carried  all the time, unless he wants to be playing with balls, cats, or trucks.  Can you tell he is all Boy?  All 31 lbs of him, and I'm simply not strong enough for this attachment parenting that he favors.  On the many occasions that he has decided he needs to be attached, he simply screams at my feet if I put him down to wash the dishes or use the bathroom.   Now please don't tell me I need to teach him to be more independant, that will come when he is ready.  I think that he spent so much time on his own before we got him, and since he knows our time belongs to him, that he is eating up the attention.  You can't spoil a child by loving them, and we do make him mind.  However, I sure do wish my muscles were growing as fast as my guy is.
