Lighthearted post to balance out all of the other ones.

When did you start activities with your only child?

My 10 month old is crawling like crazy, pulling to stand and even standing independently for a few seconds. I’m eyeing a gymnastics place that starts parent/baby classes as early as 12 months old.

Is this too soon? Did you start activities early and realize that it would have been better to wait until age 2 or so?

Baby currently stays home with our wonderful nanny (or grandma) all day. So no interaction with other babies right now.

I have a 9 month old baby so I follow a lot of subs for new parents.

It seems like every other post is about a problem that OP is having with baby #1 who is still under ~2 years old.

At the end of the post, it’s always something like “we are desperate to solve this problem because baby #2 just arrived or is due next month. like, why are you doing this to yourselves, people?

Everything goes in the mouth.

Inside, it’s dog fur and dust bunnies. Outside, it’s rocks, sticks and dirt.

Actual human food is thrown on the floor immediately, of course.

Baby is constantly trying to pull up on things and toppling over half the time…

Is this a FTM thing? Or is everybody following their babies around just waiting for the next catastrophe?

Or is this my life now?

My newly 8 month old baby just pulled a 4/4/4 schedule and she was barely even tired at bedtime.

A normal day for us is ~10 hours of overnight sleep and 2 hours of naps.

Today, the naps were just 45 minutes each…
