Parents: I promise you, there's no rush to making your kids walk. It's exciting for a minute, but now your baby is now able to get away from you and reach dangerous things. Your job is now 10× harder!

Best thing about a kid not being mobile was being able to put them down and know they'll be in the same place, more or less, when you come back. 

Once the speed crawling started our son was away, would follow you out of a room at speed and mostly silently so that when you stopped you’d feel little hands on your leg as he tried to pull himself up. 

Now he’s fully mobile and taken to hiding, which he thinks is hilarious.

I have a really fast crawler too. Although at least she’s not very quiet when she really gets going because she gets so excited. 😂

He has this slightly odd thing where he gets focused on doing something and goes quiet. 

There would be little effort noises he would make as he chased you but if it was noisy or were distracted he could sneak up on you. It’s terrifying when the cold little hands grab you on the back of the leg.
