Q: Help!!!

Chu has officially started to scoot... He has scooted before, but it wasn't very consistent. Now chu can scoot on his belly the length of the entire room in the blink of an eye. All I could think when I saw him do it this morning was "uh-oh!". We've semi baby-proofed the house. But after work today i'm going to stop into the walmart to pick up more babyproofing supplies.

I have been told that i'm in store for all kinds of crazy things as he becomes more and more mobile. The question is what kinds of crazy things? What is the craziest thing that you have done as a child (or your child has done)? Just to give me an idea of what to expect.


*edited because my point didn't come across very well*

I was told.... Laughing
double the childs height if they aren't walking and triple it if they are walking and remove anything moveable/valuble within that range.

that sounds like a very good rule to go by. Because .I know just how stretchy little fingers get! Kay, .I don't have any good ideas, but .I'm in the same boat as you...So if you hear anything helpful let me know! I've got those outlet covers over all our outlets. I have to get the things to keep the cupboards shut tho. So far she only gets to the by using her walker, and with that in front of it, she can't open it. I'm sure you've got all that already since you said it's semi baby proof at your house. I thought mine was pretty well baby proof, but .I think .I still have a lot of work ahead of me, she's into everything.

Scooting already, where does time go, be careful of anything that is glass or that can tip, or change or anything that they can put in their mouth or like a floor lamp or table that can tip and if you have a fireplace put something around it, soon chu will be pulling himself up, how old is chu now? I bet you will have your hands busy now(in case you didn't already, lol). You probably have pretty much everything covered, you just don't seem like a dummy to me!

Trey gets into .E.V.E.R.Y.T.H.I.N.G!!! I find all kinds of stuff in the toilet (he broke the lock thingy) he wears my thongs around his neck. (it was great when the hot delivery dude came by lats week. Lmao

he started walking at 9 months and hasn't stopped since. Now he can jump so I have almost no knick knacks anywhere anymore. He broke 2 x-mas ball yesterday and the tree isn't even decorated yet. Lmao

i was told to get down on my hands and knees and see what I could see. I also watch what he likes to touch and try and keep him away. He knows how to turn te tv onand off with the tv or remote and he loves the computer. Ugh. Lol

Hey, the thong on the neck was a good thing, now the delivery guy is thinking about you as a milf! Maybe he'll deliver a free pizza next time or maybe he'll deliver something else! Rowr! Hot mama!

A lady told me that boys are worse then girls and can get into everything, josephs now 15 mths but as soon as he could crawl and lift himself up he was attempting all sorts of things, climbing on couches etc now though hes bigger and older he climbs baby gates and in and out of the playpen , he will stay in it if u watch him but if ur not then he escapes, hes gotten up the stairs by himself and yes I had a baby gate up lmao. One timehe snuck in the bathroom and his foot was in the toilet. He always has to stand int he bathtub wich I really hate when he does it but its like why sit there when u can do all sorts of things. And from what ive seen boys do get into more, my friends daughter is 3 mths older then my son and she doesnt do half the stuff he does she listens for one lmao but she doesnt climb on everything or touch everything. So maybe that lady was right haha, I think ive got a demon child I swear, he flip sout sometimes when I put him in the carseat so I cant even buckle it in , he finds it amusing. Good luck lol once they can walk it doesnt ever end

Lol...Nana must be a boy undercover then...Cuz yall, she's effin craazy!!

Last night, we were all layin on the bed. Oni was sittin on her butt lookin at various objects infront of her. She turns around grabs my shirt and pulls herself up to standing!!!!!!! Baron was like, no she didn't just do that?!?!?!??!

She'll stand up for a while if we put her there, but now she's pullin herself up in her play yard Shocked

if I leave her in her high chair near *anything*, she's got it. All I can say is thank god for buckles in everything!!!!

When in her bouncy seat, she won't cry if she wants something. No, I turn around and she's on her belly, practically in a flying position, trying to reach a *leaf*!!!!
