Way back when we only had one child I used to do things like make little movies about him. Those were the days. I present to you today "Walk It Off" featuring my oldest son Henry as a baby:
Why yes, I was deliriously sleep-deprived. Why do you ask?

I loved this! This isn't bad parenting at all. It is allowing your child to learn cause and effect and not hovering. I guess the laughing was a little mean but it was funny. I would have laughed too.

I love that you are filming, and laughing, and just *waiting* all excitedly for something to happen.
But truly, yes, cause and effect. I remember (through the haze of sleep deprivation) watching my eldest engage in this kind of play and you know what? He turned into the kind of kid who would fall over and just pick himself up. Until he started school of course and learned the "right" way to act when you take a fall :-)
I love the bouncing!

And, I'm going to take partial credit for you deciding to use real names now, since you asked me if I used my kids' names and I said yeah, because, ehhhh, what's the worst that's gonna happen? Yeah! I was influential!!
Man, I miss having itty bitty kids.

I LOVE listening to your laugh on this video! Some parents are so overly worried about their babies, you are obviously a laid-back kind of parent :)
P.S. I like the new design!
