Just make sure the cap is on super tight, or that you just take the cap off and throw it away before giving the bottle to him. :) PS I forgot to say…empty water bottles are a very fun toy for kiddos.

Or you can do a baby yard http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2266978 ...I have one of those. It allows baby to move around, have plenty of toys, etc, but stay out of the danger of falling / spinning fans, etc. I know space is limited, but you may be more limited with how much you have to try and block everything off vs. getting a play yard type thing. When Scarlet was crawling all around but whiny, I would put her in the yard with a sippy cup, blanket, just a couple toys, and turn on music or the TV on low and she'd learn a little self-soothing, and play on her own and be in a better mood. One time I guess she was just worn out because she grabbed a pillow, blanket, and her cup of water and motioned to go in the gate. I put her in w/her stuff and she snuggled up to take a nap, hahaha. You never know what your kids will like for sure, but this kept my kids away from electrocution and falling objects ;) Kids start to love everything but their toys when there is a chance for mischief. ;)
