Perspective Boys: 1. Set some tools in a case by walls around first steps and within a couple of months. It will intrigue him. He will pick it up and throw on the ground for sound. This builds a sense of confidence and is a way to break latter habits of domination. My nephew did this at six months. It was great watching. Him standing by drill bit case and grabs it. Looks around to see who is watching. Throws down and yells some like things need fixin. 2. Take them outside for a first snow fall. At one years of age; I stood out on porch and laughter rang out when flakes fall. Also teach the Moon and buy a globe. I bought Mars and he still likes to throw it around and roll it. 3. By two years of age; they really like to see things fixed. Nephew already has turned first screw and tighten first bolt. It gets to point were they want it for themselves. 4. Have some floor cushion seats to rest in. They love running and diving into it. Just like football but it can make the head hurt. 5. Curiosity leads them into kitchen and loves to grab cooking pots. Let them and give them wooden spoon to bang on. Luckly if you give them freedom. It isn't always abused. 6. Buy a couple of toys. That are above age range. They can sense progress and feelings in learning. I bought. Learn Through Music. It works. get on computer and they will light up the buttons. He loves looking at tractors and trucks. 7. Watch cartoon channels and let them dance away. This really does help associate with toys. 8. Stories books and good rythums really helps equallibrium. I like to put on warm-ups and slide on wood floors with hands. They'll run by you and you can snip at heals/ tickle bottom of feet. They do pick it up. Well that is about all for now. Remember everything helps and hardly anything is useless. Time is closing in on outerspace....
Actually he's been chewing on his hand for a couple months now, and trying to chew on everything else as well. His favorite thing is chewing on the pacifier case, not the pacifier.
seconding some advice from Damon (while lamenting that we don't get snow ) but we have a drawer in our kitchen that isn't baby-proofed. he knows that's his drawer and always plays with what's in it. an old pot, some old tupperware, stuff like that. he loves it. we've been long believers in letting him cry it out at night (to a certain extent). sometimes he'd wake up crying and we'd go in, but he'd still be asleep and not even know we were there. No, we let him go for a bit and 90 percent of the time he's asleep within a couple of minutes. Our doctor said sometimes they work through it, and it's important that they do. Learning to put themselves back to sleep is one of those developmental milestones. Also,we can really interpret his cries and we know when he's just making noise and when he's upset. I guess to boil it down, don't overreact everytime you hear them cry. Sometimes it's just normal and they get past it by themselves.

Congratulations! And good luck. One last tidbit of parental wisdom from me: gastroenteritis is the devil. Pray your child never gets it... Yesterday we had one mom (me) plus two twin boys with it all in the same day. I think my husband is a saint now.
Oh and Pear Juice is Mother Natures Ex-Lax Or at least it works for my daughter, every kids system is different. But be careful, put a little too much in them and
