An aside - one of the grandmas sent an "activity center" - one of those (non-rolling) things that you stick the kid in the middle of and let him play with the stuff surrounding his swivel seat - which arrived last night.

My eldest boy LOVED his "activity center" (which we, his parents, referred to as his "office"). He would stay in that thing for an awfully long time. His preferred one (he actually had two -- don't ask...) was the kind that had a flat, hard-plastic disc, in the center of which was a cylinder, around which the "palatte" (don't know how else to describe it) where he would sit rotated. That way, he could walk around a little, but only in a small circle (the disc). He liked standing up. Maybe it helped with walking -- he walked at 9 months -- but probably not. His father walked early too, which (I hear) is the key predictive factor for when a youngster will start ambulating (i.e., when your parents started walking).
Anyway, I can't remember how old he was when he stopped using it, but it was definitely over six months.
By the time other kid arrivals occurred, we had lost some of the pieces of the seat, and the other kids didn't seem overly interested in the office anyway. (How could you expect anything less? They are, after all, chips off the old blockette).
