What to do with a 9mo during the day

[Jellybabie3]

So DS is now crawling and wants to look at everything. But i feel i spend most of the day dragging him away from the dvd player!!

We have to do the boring stuff like shopping (which he loves) but what else can I do with him to keep us both occupied?

In or out!
Thanks!

Swimming! Tires them out to :)

The park - hold him down slides, can go on swings. Have a picnic. He’d probably love to just explore the grass!

Have you a soft play near you? Once my DD1 started crawling she loved soft play! X

We do quite a lot of drumming with the pots and pans, he loves that! And recently he's got interested in looking at books rather than just eating them so we go to the library a bit. He seems more interested in household objects than his toys at the moment so I've put together a basket of things like wooden spoon, plastic lemon squeezer that are safe for him to explore and I try and add new objects every couple of days as he definitely appreciates novelty.

It is so tough now with the crawling. Am constantly exhausted and trying to get him away from wires and radiator knobs!
