My baby's 8.5 months and is starting to show signs of crawling - at least, he rolls around on the floor a bit. He can sit up without props but will keep toppling over every so often.
Like his toddler sister, he's been in an inflatable ring nest, but within a month learnt to lever himself over the edge and out.
I think his sister went straight from the ring to bottom-shuffling and was in a safer environment as no siblings then for her so she was always sitting around on the floor.
So now I'm stuck as to where to put him!
Too big for bouncy chair
electric swinging chairs too much hassle to keep strapping in and out of
he doesn't like the huge plastic bouncing car thing that you can stand in which Nanny bought (nor do I!)
not safe enough to leave him crawling around the living room with a hyper-toddler bouncing off walls and furniture
I hate those huge plastic walkers so not having one of them again
and not really enough room for a playpen.
Any more ideas?
