Ours Was the Only One Acting Out in This Fashion- Sitting Still Suggestions??

Mamas & Papas - I know it is bad practice to compare kids, but at a christening party we attended this weekend, it was pretty conspicuous that ours was the only one acting out in this fashion. Admittedly, the other children there were either younger, i.e. less than a year, and not yet mobile, or older about 2- 2.5 or older.

Should I Buy a Baby Walker?

I would like to get my ten month old a baby walker, the kind you push, not the kind you sit in and wheel around in. My first question is, does anyone have a recommendation of a good one?
