baby backpack 3 months image
cyberjazz
My 1 month baby boy sleeps less than normal. When he's awake, he moves his hands and legs, and always kicks his blanket off. He cries, yells, and moves vigorously when sensing light contacts. I always wait until he wakes up (not very long) to move him to another place, otherwise he yells out. He can already lift his head up when lying on his stomach, and tries to flip. Some references point that this is an active-type baby.
I wonder what will this type of baby be good at, later on during teens and adulthood? Sports? Being sociable? What kind of treatments that would stimulate the baby (or later on toddler) to sharpen his strength?
Answer
Yes, I know what you mean.
My daughter was like that, always in motion. I made sure to tire her out pretty well before nap and bedtimes to make sure she got enough solid hours of sleep.
Otherwise, she was a great kid to have around. I put her in a front pack facing outward until she was too big to carry like that, and then in a backpack peeking over my shoulder.
She loved being with me as I cooked, rolled out dough, ironed, worked in the garden, etc. and I wasn't spastic worried that she was going to kill herself because she could climb out of anything (crib, playpen, whatever) from four or five months old and up.
She swam like a fish from a very young age, enjoyed ballet from age 3, and ran triathalons (swim, bicycle, run) untill age 12, when she took up field hockey and tennis.
She's grown now, but goes rock climbing, still dances professionally sometimes, and is in med school, which is physically gruelling along with the mental side.
Just try to get the training in with him BEFORE he goes off recklessly--I had her in swim lessons before she could walk, taught her to drive at age 12 with LOTS of rules to make sure she'd be well in control of a vehicle before that superactive body of hers took over.
I think it paid off because she seeks out the 'proper' way to do things and takes lessons before going into frantic activity . . . LOL.

How do you occupy your baby at a restaurant?
Gracee's M
So I have been cooking a lot lately but tonight by husband took Gracee and I out for dinner. It was really kinda crazy trying to get Gracee to sit still in her high chair with out trying to stand up, and she was getting restless and bored. I kept giving her food and snacks to play with and eat but they eventually just ended up on the floor.
Do you have any restaurant tips or anything to keep your baby happy and entertained through-out the whole meal?
Answer
i have a little backpack full of toys that i bring with us to the restaurant.
its loaded with so many different things that its hard for them to get bored. and my kids are only 3 1/2 years old and 10 1/2 months. its got everything in it. dolls, cars, blocks, crayons and coloring books , you name it its in there!! oh and a little packet of wipes too!. ;0)
so when we get to the restaurant i sit them in at the table and when they start getting fidgety out come the toys!. and they play quietly until the food comes then the toys go away until they are done eating and then they get cleaned up and out they come agin until everyone is finished and ready to go. :0)
but dont worry too much, most kids even with an abundance of toys arent going to sit through an entire meal at a resaurant without making a peep. just take it in stride and be thankful they arent screaming the whole time and throwing their food at the people next to you . lol :P just try to go to family restaurants :0)
now believe me this isnt something we practice at home, but toys work wonders for eating out!. our bag is always packed and in the van ready to go, just in case we make any last minute stops. and it comes in hand when we get stuck anywhere waiting.!
good luck next time! :0)
