  He is busy...is it because he is a boy??? Reply Contact Ok, I have to rant.....this little baby is all over the place.....whoever made childproof items knew what they were doing....who knew that a 8.5 month old would make a bee line to the power outlets???? Just a second ago, he was trying to pull up on the printer cord that was plugged into the outlet.......yesterday he pulled the cord on this fake dolphin aquarium that was on his dresser and it fell(Thank God, not on top of his head)....he also tried to pull the night light out of the plug......he notices every single string, piece of paper, crumb...even his own spit spots that he leaves on the bedding......its amazing....! He doesn't really watch tv, but its on alot...and if there is a catchy jingle, he will stop breathing and turn to look at the commercial until it goes off...... He puts everything into his mouth...and follows us everywhere....and pulls on us until we pick him up....he even tries to pull up on my husband's leg hair! Gosh! He crawls straight to the edge of the bed and then stop and sits up...RIGHT ON THE EDGE!!! He pulls on EVERY cord that he sees....cable cord, power cord, laptop power cord, During bath time....instead of playing with his bath toys, he tries to pull up on the spout(the spout covers do not fit our spout I don't think), the jets, the  edge......(I am going to go and get that bath seat from Safety 1st...!!)..... I have to go and buy a gate for the stairs now.....because every blue moon he will venture out on his own and crawl off a few feet...... Well, I gotta go....he's trying to put the duct tape and night light into his mouth.....!! Amazing! lol!

We packed up the playpen awhile ago because it took too much space in our little living room. so hes constantly going from the room to the kitchen.

  Re: He is busy...is it because he is a boy??? Reply Contact  It's not just a boy thing, I assure you.  I posted on facebook about this awhile back.  Lily has grown tired of most of her toys.  She really seems to enjoy things that will kill her most of all.  Things that could fall on her, strangle her, choke her, poke an eye out, suffocate her, electrocute her . . . the list goes on.  I'm thinking about that bath seat too, but I imagine she'll hate it just like she hates the exersaucer now.  Oh, and Lily's favorite thing to eat??  Kirkland Super Premium Dog Food.  If it's out, she goes right for it.  I caught her in it yesterday, and she had a piece in her mouth.  I tried digging it out, and she fought me.  She finally flung herself back, hitting her head on the tile floor.  She wound up swallowing the piece whole.

He doesn't really fight me, but he clenches his teeth(gums) pretty tight.....he LOVES paper products....I mean he wil dive for it......and I've fished out globs of paper that were stuck to the roof of his mouth....I'm postive he has swallowed some behind my back......  And yes, they love stuff that will kill them....I told my husband...'We have to save him from himself..!' And he doesn't really like being in the exersaucer...but will sit on your knee and play with the toys that way...... This kids are too funny!

He loves cords. and paper. My DD was so not like that. She would just play with toys and was always content where she was. Night & Day...

  Re: He is busy...is it because he is a boy??? Reply Contact  That's Haley.  With Mara I just had to point to something and make a scared face and she never touched it again.  With Haley, she seems to know the most dangerous thing within reach and go straight for it.  And she's SOOOOO FREAKING strong!!!  Luckily she's not crawling fast yet (or well, lol) so I've still got time to get the gates up.  I'm gonna need them!  Gonna have to confine her to a small area until she understands "no"!

The only things that makes me feel better about it is that the FDA is much stricter about standards dog food than human food!

Reply Contact Sam's favorite food was dog food for teh longest time, adn he will still eat it occasionally.  I have to watch him when I give the dogs treats because he has been known to take a treat from the dog and eat it!  Lila hasn't found the dog food yet.
