Okay, I couldn't resist...
It is my own fault, I know this, I provked and actually led to it.
What am I talking about, you ask?
Our son can climb the stairs... I do not just mean he can get his leg up on one step... ut uh... the boy can scale the whole stair case on his own. We, of course, stay behind for support just in case he were to miss a "step," but our little man rocks. If we aren't careful he may be rock climbing soon... or maybe splunking!
I, for about a month, have been practicing with MJ showing and helping him make it up the stairs... who knew he could catch on so quick!?
Walking? Nawh, he hasn't got the grasp on that yet... he tends to stand on his tip-toes. Not sure when this goes out of style for babies, but lets all hope soon.
We have started the more hardcore baby proofing... I mean we first put out all the plug-in covers and the padded gummy covers on the fireplace, we have taken things out of reach, but I have put off putting up the dredded "GATE."
So, this weekend, Sunday to be exact, will be the dredded day where our home becomes more structured and confined...
Don't get me wrong, I know we need a gate, I expected the gate... but I wasn't sure I, uhhmm he was ready for it until we caught him acting like he was from the Jefferson's... "Movin' on up!"
Although, in place of the deluxe apartment is the upstairs landing... which at the moment house a couple of large holiday nutcrackers.
I'll keep ya posted on the installation of said "gates!"
