Baby-proofing ASAP

Okay, here is my wake-up call to seriously do some baby-proofing. You would have to think that I enjoy chasing Tyler up the stairs 10,000 times a day, or catching him 1/2 a second before he slams a cooking pan on his toes, or constantly untangling his little fingers from the cords on the blinds, or holding the media stand doors shut until he gets bored (or angry!) from not being able to turn the cable box off and on, or... you get the picture. At this point, our baby-proofing consists of a lock on the cabinet that contains the cleaning chemicals and placing the coffee table in front of the fireplace (and previous to doing these, I spent months chasing him around to keep him out of these things as well!). Now my stinker knows how to open the doors in our house! Thankfully, he can't reach the deadbolts on the outside doors...yet, but if you close your eyes for a second, he's heading to the bathroom door (because he LOVES taking toilet paper, flushing the toilet and of course, splashing his hands in the toilet.. YUCK!) or the pantry door (because he LOVES rolling Cooper's dog food bin around or digging in the trashcan... YUCK again!). It's time to make life easier! Baby-proofing is #1 on the to-do list!
