MHM, have fun with that baby! Hehe! My youngest was cruising that early, and she was walking (on her own) at 9 mos. She climbed on EVERYTHING. Her favorite “game” involved climbing up the couch, onto the back of the couch, and then jumping off the back (our couch wasn’t against a wall – maybe it should have been!). She did this around the time she started walking. Luckily, she somehow made it through toddlerhood without needing a trip to the ER!

Ack! 7 kids assisting! I can’t even imagine. I had an early walker too, but his motor skills otherwise were so delayed other than noggin bumps there wasn’t too much to worry about.

Yes, the other children were putting me into an early grave by teaching Baby A to climb the stairs today. ALL seven of them cheering her on and giving her little boosts. It’s a wonder I haven’t gone gray yet.

Yes, the cases I know personally were state prisoners.

Wow that baby A is starting to walk! My youngest is quickly coming up on 11 months, and walking isn’t anywhere on her radar. She doesn’t even like to crawl with her belly off the floor: she’d rather scoot around on her tummy. Sounds like A is quite an adventurous child! I’ll bet the other kids adore her!

Federal Prisoners are on the receiving end of very good, easy to access health case. 2nd opinions and such are still a problem as you stated but the care is actually at a quite high standard in most cases.

Other prisoners likely receive substandard health care though.

GMO soy has many times the allergens that natural soy has; to someone that is allergic, it is a poison.

#2: That is unbelievable, horrible, and disgusting! Our family, being not rich, will qualify for both premiums (good for us) and extra employer taxes (bad for us). Most middle class folks apparently will.

#3: I heard about this too. It would be enough to get me to stop eating ground beef, except I already stopped a few months ago. *shudder* We had ground turkey stroganoff last night and it was good!

#4: GMOs are not the same genetically as natural organisms, but why do you think GM soy is poison? That’s a pretty strong word, and I don’t think any GMOs have been proven to be harmful to human health (some, such as golden rice, are decidedly beneficial).

Wow. Yet another reason to never eat at McDonald’s (I cannot even have their french fries without reacting, so there wasn’t much reason anyway)!

Your little cutie is certainly an adventurous sort! Better keep an eye on her; at this rate she will be running the whole house before she is five!

None of my babies have ever cruised this early (walking while holding on.) But then again, she held her head up at 4 minutes old. Most of my babies walk independently around 11-14 months, cruise around 9-10 months. Baby A didn’t even roll, she went straight to crawling.

I can’t believe she is trying to walk. God lord! Yeah, Jack (Daniel’s boy) just turned one, and I think he’s mastered walking. How are things with you my dear?
