Whiny 13 Month Old

Does any one have any experience with a whiny 13 month old? All of a sudden, my happy-go-lucky baby turned into a whiny toddler. If we tell him he can't throw his cup on the floor, he cries.

I was diagnosed with IUGR (interuterine growth restriction) during my pregnancy and was put on bed rest and saw a high risk doctor the last two months.
