My six month old is just at "that stage". He is really hating being left
on his back, he's not able to sit up by himself, and he can't be on the
couch because he's really good at rolling over, which means he'll fall
off. (I can't really sling him for very long, because my back is too
ruined from the first one...)

Here's my question. He mostly gets put down on a comforter on the living
room floor. We are currently suffering from a truly heinous mouse
invasion. Like, one or two on glue traps every three/four days.

I'm having a nervous breakdown. I don't know where all they are running;
though the babe is never left unobserved, so there's not been any
first-hand encounters between him and mice. How freaked out do I have to
be about him being on or near the floor? He's gonna crawl soon - I think
I might just steam the whole house before then.

I'm a freak with mice so I'd get a play pen for sure. In reality even if a
mouse ran over him I doubt it would be to big of a deal. I'm assuming you
are taking steps to get the hideous little things out. ;-)

I had a mouse problem once. Nothing worked except poison. Dh was against
poison. I eventually packed my bags and said he could live with the mice.
Hunter and I were getting out of there! We flung poison and they all
disappeared in short order.

When I was a kid we used mouse poison in our house once. The buggers
had a habit of crawling under the built-in dishwasher to perish. You
got to know that dead mouse smell in the kitchen after awhile, blech. I
prefer the cat solution! I think my house might have had mice before
we moved in, but not a sign of 'em since we got here with the cat.
