8 month old now crawling and won’t sit still!

[Iammeltin]

She’s literally like a Duracell bunny.
She started crawling 1.5 weeks ago.
She won’t sit still and play with her toys anymore.
She wants to crawl out of the room, under the tables, towards wires, trying to pull herself up etc
I’m exhausted!
Took her to a play centre and she would crawl towards other babies and tap their heads.

Is this normal or is this not normal?!

I visited my friends house last week who’s baby is similar age who just sat there quietly and my DD was trying to pull her, tap her etc…poor thing her DD got scared and started crying!

I found this one of the most boring bits of parenthood as I followed my child round wherever they wanted to go taking things off them. They just want to explore and ‘toys’ just aren’t as appealing as the world I suppose. I didn’t find my second child so full on if that’s any help! Mainly as she liked watching her 4 yr old brother

This is my second child. She wants everything and to do everything her elder brothers has and does. He wasn’t this bad.

I thought it would get better when she starts walking as she won’t be bumping into things but obviously not…😫

Completely normal that's why you've got to baby proof the house! Or get a play pen! It is exhausting! Wait till they are walking and running!!

@Iammeltin yes very normal, wait until she can walk, there will be no stopping her then!

When mine could crawl she was off emptying the cupboards, I eventually had to get locks for everything xx

You should be very proud. Just be careful baby doesn't get hurt running around.

You would not believe, there many parents in the world who wish their baby ever can walk, so parents are very lucky and blessed. Think positive and thank God.

Mine learned to crawl, pun up and cruise in the same morning At 6m. 😱

Seriously though if you suddenly could fly would you stay on the ground or would you explore? They are no different.

Yes exactly, the difference is that she's got an older child as an example to follow! I know a looooot where the second was more interested in moving around than the first.

Some kids are energiser bunnies some are not.
