Well...we knew it would happen eventually. Our baby girl is very mobile as of now. She still hasn't crawled yet, but she has become such a professional roller that she can surely travel around the large living room floor just as if she could crawl. I think sometimes her sideways travel could be considered a crawl, but she still has yet to head in a forward direction. But regardless she IS getting around quite well.
Check out how well this little roller can roll!
It's about that time... Baby Proofing.

I guess we have a new "to do list".
- Get baby gates and install them
- Clear off all of our lamp tables and coffee table
- Put rubber padding around tables
- Take down any knick knacks from book shelves that are at her level (even in her walker)
- Wrap all of our wires (TV, DVD player, Laptops, Candle Warmers - ok REMOVE Candle Warmers, Lamps, and Phone Chargers) Did I forget anything?
- Buy those wall outlet covers and install them
- Buy more cupboard locks (Because we do already have some installed due to the curious cat) and install them
- Make sure our bookshelves are bolted to the wall and remove any objects that could fall and hurt the baby - so pretty much unless we are housing some stuffed animals on bookshelves in the living room, we should upgrade to only wall shelves
- Be more mindful of objects that we leave around the house and always watch for small choking hazards nearby
Hmmm...That's about all I can think of for now. Let the games begin!
Did I miss anything else to baby proof a house for an 8 month old?
Any advice you care to share to first time parents with a mobile baby?
What a cutie! She seems like such a happy baby girl!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Monica! She is a very happy baby (most of the time)! *wink wink*
