Oh Lord- your child sounds a lot similar to mine at that age- really WANTED TO WALK!! So mad that he couldn't do what we were doing, and frustrated with his lack of motor skills. That being said, he walked well at 8 mos, so get your running shoes ready!!

I've BTDT- it's so hard, and my heart goes out to you. It does pass and get easier in someways. For example, once he was 14 mos, he had fits because I wouldn't let him climb up a ladder with Daddy's drill to fix the ceiling lights- LOL.

High energy and spirited gifted kids are exhausting- a joy, to be sure, but exhausting. NEVER boring, though!!
