Baby Proofing

Megan loves the windows in our house because they are just the right height for her to pull herself up and look out the window. She will crawl from one window to the next and then back to the first window. She loves "pounding" on the glass and watching the cars go by. As you can see by the picture she also loves playing with the cord to the shade. So now the first thing I do ever morning is put the shades up and tie up the cord. And of course we use every shade in our house every day, so I can't buy a cord tie because I would have to take it off everyday. Plus, I don't want to put ugly ties on all of the windows since we are trying to sell our house. But the cords are up and Megan is safe, so everything is okay.

Another baby proofing issue we sort of have to think about is our stairs. Yes, that's right our tiny 8 month old climbed all the way to the top of our stairs on Sunday (Mark was right behind her the whole way) She normally doesn't pay any attention to the stairs but I was at the top of the stairs and she was on a mission! And for those of you who have been to our house knows that our stairs are not child friendly! Steep and narrow. The stairs, for me, are probably the biggest reason that we need a new house. So I am very proud that Megan can climb stairs but not ready for the world of baby gates.

She is a girl on a mission. I think that Megan is too smart for baby gates. She would find away to complete her mission with or without a baby gate. Hang in there and she will be walking up the stairs soon enough.
