So the kid is mobile, no question. He gave us no time between learning to crawl and learning to climb up on things. He just crawled over to the couch one day and stood up. We think he's part monkey. As a side note, he also loves bouncing in his bouncer, being thrown up in the air and spun around in circles. I cannot wait to take this kid to trapeze class in a few years.
Back to Jack's crawling habits. We are quickly learning that our house in not babyproofed at all. We had plans to baby proof as soon as we moved in, but we never did. Now the need for it has snuck up on us. Check out this picture of my bathroom. Note the hanging wires and bottle of bleach. Eek! It's not safe!
But how far does one go with babyproofing? I'm overwhelmed with all of the products on the market to keep my baby safe. Obviously the bleach and the cords have to go. But what else? Should we bolt down all furniture? Should we put padding on corners? Should we put bars on the windows? Or should just we strap a pillow to him and hope for the best?
Yes. Maybe instead of babyproofing the house, we should house proof the baby! Ha ha.
