We cant stop him. He is determined to not sit or hold on to anything ever again. In fact, I cant get him to sit down or hold on to something. Like when I need to take Hudson to the bathroom, I try to put Cannon on the floor sitting or standing at the train table holding on. He wont do it. His body stiffens and he refuses to bend or hold. He wants to stand alone or walk. And he is paying for it. His poor little face is beat up right now from falling over. His nose is scratched from a bad fall on the carpet (yeah, a carpet burn on his nose that he keeps re-opening from falls since), his lip is fat and cut on the inside (from hitting the train table), he has a gash on his chin (again from hitting the train table on his way down), and a bruise above his eye (we dont know what this is from). Not to mention all the hits to his head, butt and ego. I think his ego is getting hit the hardest as I see him get really frustrated. Watching him fall and hit the table on his way down is hard on him, but VERY difficult for mommy. Bloody teeth, bloody chin, ughhh, it hurts me so much (he usually cries for less than a minute but I am worried all the time now). Please Cannon, slow down! And also, while we are at it, could you put the toys down while you walk? It means that your hands are full and cant break your fall, making your face take the hits.
Oh and he doesn't want to be held either. He squirms, screams and dives down until you put him on the ground. And crawling? Forget it, he isnt interested. So I have only one choice, right? Let him learn. Let him get better. Try to break as many falls as I can. Stand behind him as he climbs on top of everything to catch him if he falls (the couch, chairs, toys, the train table). He is doing so great, walking from one end of our house to the other. But this is very hard on mommy. Way to go Cannon... but pleeeease slow down!!
