Getting Stuff Done With An 8 Month Old

[nox]

I have just bought security gates for the lounge to hall and halfway in the kitchen. It means ds can freely roam but I know all the really dangerous places are not available to him. Although because there is still a large space I have to watch. It does leave me pretty free to be in the kitchen with some of his toys.
Easing I do when he's sleeping and folding I do with him while he plays. The rest getvfit in....sometimes and sometimes not!!
I make sure we are out at least once a day. It can just be walk around or a lunch with other mothers. I have found playgroup and mothers groups great. I try to talk to him all the time. We lay around and play with his toys too. I have just joined my toy library which can help. Also like everyone else -- a lot of reading and signing!
But the going out has been the best thing for us.

All best

I have the portacot set up in the lounge room for such occasions. LOL
DS does not sit still, and is now attempting to walk everywhere. He loves being in his highchair with something to eat.
I try and do a few things when he's asleep aswell.
DS loves playing on his own. I am forever talking to him, or singing to him, trying to repeat all the sounds he makes, playing peek a boo, and hiding things to see if he can find them.
I give him empty bottles, boxes, wooden spoons, pots and pans to play with aswell.
He's happy and healthy, so I must be doing something right hey
