Bored Baby

[KJBBDOLL]

Anyone have any experience with a little one that bores very easily?
Parker has buttloads of toys, books, musical instruments etc but gets bored very easily. Always has, even before he was mobile. We do rotate his toys and I save different household items to give to him as well (laundry det. caps, bowls and lids, empty water bottles filled with small items etc) but he still gets very bored in which results in him shrieking constantly or just getting into absolutely everything that he KNOWS he isn't supposed to touch (the child will actually look at me to see if I am watching him touch something that he knows he shouldn't-LOL-he's a mess!)
The past few days Jimmy and I have been taking him for walks which helps but if it is more then a half hr he starts to get mad. We try to take him places a lot because he is actually better in public then he is at home. Go figure
anyway, just wondering if anyone has any suggestions

I'm in the same boat - I'm thinking its a boy thing... The girls entertained themselves for hours at a time (well it seemed hours)

Do you have a baby bouncer? My dd would jump in her jumpy seat for hours. That was a sign! Maybe with so much excitement in your house, he just likes all the hussle and bussle of a big family being around all the time?

Yes, we have a jumperoo and when he was smaller he would jump so long that he would actually fall asleep in it Now he rarely wants to stay in it more then a few minutes.
I agree with you though-I think that my house is usually so full of activity that he can't stand it when it isn't crazy around here-LOL He was especially bad this weekend and the kids were with their father. Man, I think it is going to be terrible when the bigger kids go to their dads for 10 days in a couple of weeks! Parker will drive me LOL
