Childproofing the Home

Eljah is getting to the age where he's starting to move around a little more. He's definitely not super motivated though...in fact Jake and I joke that he's a little lazy. Here he is playing his piano while I fold laundry...and he soon falls over...despite the pillows! It's crazy! If he didn't have pillows there he would last a little longer but once he falls over he's done.

So despite the limited mobility of the moment, we KNOW he's going to start moving soon so we've been childproofing the house little by little. There's soooo much safety stuff out there to buy!

Along with the safety stuff we've been puting up, we've been putting away some of the baby stuff. How sad! For every exciting step forward there's a sad goodbye to something else.
Gone are the swing and bouncy seat! I even put away his hooded towels. He's so big they won't cover him anymore! We got something new for him....but more on that another day! Anyway. Here he is trying to play with Mom's little screwdriver. He wanted to do it himself. Just like a little man! What a cutie pie, huh?
Here he is in his car seat waiting to go bye-bye and see Daddy at work. While Mama went to get the diaper bag he found something to play with nearby. Little stinker gets into anything he can...and boy does he love crinkly paper!

Today I put a cute little Snoopy outfit on him complete with Snoopy slippers! He loved playing with the slippers! I ran to get the camera when he started chewing on them but he stopped when the camera came out. Little stinker!

I was able to catch him playing peek-a-boo shortly thereafter. He was being very playful and cute. Of course he loved the attention that Mama was giving him.

Well, I guess that's all for now. It's getting late and I'm pretty tired. Elijah has been keeping me up for some reason and I've been under the weather..still!!! I went to the Dr. today though and got some antibiotics. I was right on my diagnosis of a sinus infection. Hopefully I will start feeling better soon!
