So now my son absolutely loves his walker. How do I know? Well not only does he love being in it all the time, he will cry if you have to take him out to feed him or change his but. Want more proof? Well now he will wiggle and squirm when you lay down with him to get him to take a nap, and he just won't fall asleep, he moves and moves and keeps himself awake. Then I finally decide, fine he doesn't want to take a nap so lets just play. So I sit on the floor with him surrounded by toys, and he just picks them up and throws them away from us. Then he will get really cranky. So I will put him back in his walker. A couple minutes later I will look over and, yes his magical walker did what I just couldn't do. The evasive nap has been found! The magical walker is a staple in our house.
On the other hand though, it is definitely a pain! We love that the baby gets around wherever he wants to go, since he still won't crawl, but now we have to set up barricades so he doesn't get to certain places. He loves to play in the kitchen, which I don't have a problem with, except when the oven is on. Since I bake bread every other day, the oven is used regularly. His new thing is running down the hall. He has figured out where we keep the big thing that he gets to splash in ( he LOVES his baths). So now he tries to run all the way down the hall and get into the bathroom before I get down there to turn him around. We try to keep the door closed and that has helped a bit, till he rams into it and opens it. He also likes to follow us around. Where ever we go he will follow. That's how he found out where the bathtub is, he followed me when I went to the bathroom. So he absolutely loves his walker and he never gets stuck or in a place that he just can't get out of. He has of course ran over mom and dads toes many times!
When he is not in his walker he can still get around by rolling everywhere. It is the funniest thing I have seen. He will point himself in whatever direction he wants to go and start rolling! A couple of days ago he started rolling towards the dining room and stopped at the corner of the love seat so he could chew on it. Really baby! We have I don't know how many toys that he can chew on but he prefers things that get reactions out of mom and dad! Like the love seat, his changing table, our fingers, anything that might surprise us! He definitely keeps us on our toes!
Now if you'll excuse me I have to go relieve the wonderful, magical walker of its duties for a little bit.
