Listen, before you come at me, I know everyone’s situation is different but my personal experience is that it’s actually a lot easier. My kiddo was crawling at 6 months and I found that stage to be WAY harder. She was mobile. She could get into anything and everything. She WANTED to crawl… but a lot of the time it wasn’t a great or even safe environment for her to crawl around. I have also struggled with “mommy wrist” for most of my daughter’s life (like two cortisone shots and talks of surgery struggle) and the constant wrangling and resituating made that so much worse. Don’t get me wrong, there is definitely still some wrangling involved with this stage of life but I have personally found the walking stage makes adventuring so much easier and more fun. I don’t know, maybe I’m crazy! Haha But I am loving chasing this little gal around. #adventuremamas #travelwithkids #newparents #outdoorfamily #adventurefamily #familyadventures
