I mean actually, physically. Where do you put them? At 25lbs she's too big now for chairs, walkers, swings, and door bouncers...
I cannot get anything done because there's nowhere that I can put her where she's safe for very long.
She gets bored just laying on the floor even if I leave toys out for her, because she cannot actually get to them yet (not crawling). So at most I get 5 min before screaming ensues. (fine for going to the toilet...not so great for washing dishes, making supper etc.)
If I sit her up she cannot stay sitting for long (6-8min at most) and I'm a bit afraid she's going to knock herself out when she finally falls back onto the (hardwood) floor.
I've also tried the highchair in the kitchen,(cannot use it anywhere else easily as the kitchen on ground floor while all other rooms on 2nd and 3rd floor); once the toys drop she also starts crying...so I spend my time picking up toys...
So what would you do? How do I get anything done?
