My 6 and a half month little boy seems to be scared of everything all of a sudden he cries if he sees the vaccum out (not even on) the broom and now a new toy that makes noises. What will christmas be like this year when he cries at his toys, as I have already purchased heaps of "noisy" toys. We are loud people at the best of times we play boo and he laughs its just lately in the last week he gets scared of things like the vaccum and broom and now a new toy, is this normal?????

I dont know if its normal but sounds like me. I was scared of everything even up until i was 10 years old. You have to be supportive of him... be patient

As he grows and develops, he's changing all the time. He's becoming more aware of what's going on around him, and thinking more about things too.
The good news is, he might change more again by Christmas and be fine with noisy toys then.

there could be two reasons:-
1. He is in the stage of life, he will be alright by the time of Christmas.
2. Some time that kind of things happen to the kids when they have little inner fever, better consult doctor.

hehehe that's cute. It's nothing to be worried of. He is only learning about what he can trust in his surroundings. At this age, his emotions are developing at a rapid pace. As his awareness of his surroundings increases, he realizes that his existence is separate from other people and things. This can cause your baby to become easily overwhelmed by new situations, people, or seemingly little things. This is also the stage where he will suddenly have anxiety to be away from you, even just in the arms of another relative! It's normal emotional development.
Edit to add: An 18-month old child I took care of was afraid of airplanes. If we were outside playing, as soon as she heard an airplane, she would scream and run to me for cover! At first, I would comfort her when she heard an airplane overhead. This taught her that it was normal for her to react that way to the sound of an airplane. I realized that in order for her not to react in such a negative emotional way, my reaction to her needed to change. I slowly stopped comforting her, and would tell her it was only an airplane, that she was going to be fine, and that it was fun to watch. It took a few weeks, but she slowly came out of it, and one day I noticed that she didn't even flinch when she heard an airplane overhead! It all has to do with how you react to their anxieties. They do not know what to trust, or mistrust. React positively if it is something that you know is safe and they can trust, and they'll learn what to trust in their surroundings.

It may just be a stage.
