Absolutely is does Belle! But focus on what you CAN do. Also, you may not be able to pick him up, but try to find other ways of dealing with the situation. I can't lift my DD at all (well, I'm not suppose to!) so I find ways around it. She is older than your DS but even when she was younger we had things we'd do. I'd lean over her on the floor and kiss her, I'd tickle her with my hair; now she crawls into my lap and gets her hugs that way. If we're out, I just plonk on the floor and she climbs in.

Hang in the hon, focus on the positives.
