The only thing I've seen is a tip to smother the baby while breastfeeding if he bites. That seems a bit harsh to me. (However, if Jackson still bites when the teeth come in, I'll try it.) I think you're on the right track with the cheerios. They say that dogs peak at about a 2 year old's IQ, so perhaps the babies can be trained the same way dogs can. See if Elliot will roll over on demand or shake. <BR/>The crab walk is freakin' adorable! Post away. I haven't looked for the studies personally, but my teacher mother says that they've shown that crawling is wonderful for cognitive development. The babes that skip it and go straight to walking are more likely to have difficulty reading. Your creative crawler is right on track to follow in your literary footsteps.<BR/>Also, I say Big Cahoneys to you for all the naked time Elliot gets around the house. I assume you must have some kind of pact with him so you don't have to follow behind with a towel.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33195626.post-33724561780229739152007-06-06T15:07:00.000-05:002007-06-06T15:07:00.000-05:00I was thinking that the grandfolk need to have the...I was thinking that the grandfolk need to have their own websites that Elliot can watch.

He's ingenious for inventing his own stride. <BR/><BR/>And I have nothing for you about the discipline stuff- you know, we don't buy the sleep training thing either, so we're not the mamas to ask.w. wilsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09693113859170791054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33195626.post-47728474422054037412007-06-05T12:06:00.000-05:002007-06-05T12:06:00.000-05:00When I do the "uhuh" to Ian, he just looks at me l...When I do the "uhuh" to Ian, he just looks at me like I am nuts.
