Excelerated learner

My son, almost 9 months old, is learning so quickly and I'm afraid he is board and not getting enough stimulation. My mother-in-law is wonderful for watching him everyday. Since I was recently laid off from my full time job I am able to spend more time with both of them and noticed this bordem. We are starting a playgroup tomorrow with hopes this will help. Anyone have other sugesstions?

My son just happened to see a little guy crawling and had it mastered in less than 3 days. Toys are getting expensive and we have even tried a rotation of those - but no change. He already has his form of "language" too. I appreciate anyone's thoughts/opinions. Thank you to all.

My six month old is also extremely advanced for his age and seems to be far ahead of all the other babies we know that are around his age, or even months older. Definitely get him around other kids, but I have found that just taking him out and about can help. I take Austin to the store, talk to him, and let him play at the mall. I don't like to sit still all day, and neither does he, and it helps for him to have that bustle of movement that you get out and about. Also, try the playland at your mall. We have met SO many people.
