So we felt like Chase was probably getting bored with his toys so we were on a mission to get him something new a few weekends ago. We bought this walker and thought Chase would love it since he is super active. We were right and he had so much fun scooting around the apartment. We have hardwood floors and no stairs so it was a perfect little set-up. Chase enjoyed it for about 3 days and then I read in my baby book about how walkers are sort of a no-no and can actually slow baby from learning to walk. Oops - of course it made me feel bad and we have already retired the walker to the closet:( We will definitely still get it out once in awhile because I'm sure it won't damage him permanently:) Chase definitely enjoyed it while it lasted!

We totally have a walker too...oops! I have no worries that Delaney will be okay walking one day. Ah...baby books! Sometimes you love them and sometimes you hate them! It's fun to see them mobile though! :)
Oh, don't let those books scare you! You obviously don't want to leave him in it for hours on end but at this point he's fine to be in a walker for 15-20 minutes here and there. I think the biggest concern was that people weren't watching their kids and they were going off steps.
It's probably a good idea to retire it when he really does start cruising/walking though so he doesn't become dependent on it to walk.
He's adorable!
