I know what you mean about babies lurching off in odd directions though - grabbing for the computer, grabbing for the cat, wanting to look at the carpet.... You just constantly have to have a hand on them or a leg around them or something to keep them safe I'm afraid. At least she's little at the moment so she won't have quite as much momentum as she will.
