Baby Proofing

We have been doing some baby proofing lately. It was time. Lol.

We moved the DVD tower out of his reach because I was getting tired of putting the DVD's away everday. We moved the bookcase out of his area as well. We re-arranged the living room so he his now trapped in the living room... literally!!! It's great!

I just put up a baby gate in the kitchen. So now when I take him into the kitchen he can only go into the kitchen and dining room. I don't have to worry about him going into the foyer to play with the water bowl, pebbles' crate, or going up/down the stairs! I literally JUST put this gate up. He is napping and I know he will be PISSED when he realizes the gate is there! I can see him screaming at it already.

We still need to get about5 more gates... those damn things are expensive though! We just make sure we keep an eye on him at all times when he's near stairs or something else he isn't supposed to be by. I do want to get gates for all the stairs (up and down) at some point though. But right now he's sequestered in one area and can't even get to the stairs LOL. That'll only last so long though. *sigh*

Speaking of stairs. He climbed up the stairs yesterday. Of course I was standing right behind him but it was so cute watching him climb them. Took him about 10 minutes to climb 7 stairs, he kept wanting to go back down but I wouldn't let him! LOL.

The preparations for his first birthday party are coming along smashingly! I ordered all the favors and decorations (oriental trading company rocks!). I have the invites all filled in and just need to mail them out. We cleaned/organized the basement on Saturday so that's all set.

Coop's up. Gotta run!!
