Very active baby!

Is anyone else's baby super active?  Our boy is army crawling EVERYWHERE... and FAST.  It seems like he has an endless supply of energy!  Does anyone with a very active baby have any activities they do with their little ones to keep their focus at least a little?  I know it's normal, and I'm happy that he's moving so much but just wondering :)  He turned 8 months last week.

  • That would be a great idea, but -21F isn't ideal for anyone right now!

  • okay, I guess I'll be serious now...have you tried one of these? It plays music and moves both on its own and when baby pushes it, so that might keep his attention for a bit while letting him get his move on.

  • DD is training for a 10k with me in October I don't even take the stroller to the running track anymore. It helps tire her out more that way.

    @allydync yeah he also loves boxes-hes more excited about the box than the toy in the box. We had to move his jars of baby food from a  shelf in the pantry to a box on the floor because I didnt want him hurting himself -so now he hides toys and tin pans in the box of baby food jars. He does the same thing with an opened box of diapers in his room. This is what keeps him entertained these days. Babies are funny.
    We have been thinking about getting E one of those tunnels. Anyone have one yet? E tries to crawl into every box, under every table, and his favorite is trying to crawl underneath his jumperoo saucer. I think he needs a tunnel/tent.
    Ugh! My mom got 'me' for Christmas one year a dog agility kit that has a tunnel in it. It has sat in my basement for almost 5 years now. Now I know what to do with it when J starts crawling!

  • My LO just uses me as his personal jungle gym! Climbs and crawls all over me!
  • We are in the final preparations for Sochi. But seriously what everyone else said. Mine also climbs and crawls all over me. He is also uninterested in his toys and is infatuated with anything plugged in. I have heard some people put balls in the pack n play and turn it into a ball pit.

    This is my LO. He's not even army crawling but will jump and climb all over me. We have the crawl ball too but C prefers me to entertain him. All. Day. Long.
