I have a question about out 9 month old toller. We struggle a lot with just having him around without needing constant attention or needing to be snacking.
When we want to watch TV for example he is always jumping on the couch to be with us (he is not allowed on the couch) and still mouthing at our hands and stuff.
We don’t know how to just have him lie down somewhere or play with his toys while we watch TV.

And then as an extra do you have any tips on how to stop him from being so mouthy. He doesn’t really bite but want to put your hands in his mouth a lot.
