Baby Proofing 101

For those of you who have been to our home you know 1) we enjoy decorating, cleanliness and a minimalist style and 2) with a house full of mission furniture, glass tables, and many stairs, we don't have the most "child friendly" home on the block.

You all said it would happen. You warned us. Some of you even laughed. And so here it is...our status update for week one of baby proofing.

Remove and/or raise all living room accessories, glass balls, candles and seasonal decor = Check



Put up ugly and cumberson baby gate in entryway so that you can navigate that 25 times a day for the next year = Check

Remove glass coffee table toppers = Check

Now that the glass coffee table toppers have been removed, remove the entire coffee table since Lauren just pulled it over on herself = Check

Take all of Bryon's ficus tree plants outside after Lauren tries to eat the potting soil = Check

Barricade off all heating and cooling vents as Lauren tries to input her body into the chute = Check



Ensure all drawers, cabinets,and doors are secured so that even Sydney can't get into them = Check

Increase the amount of cat food purchased since Lauren seems to have an appetite for it = Check



Sit back, relax and laugh at the fact that "Baby Proofing Round 2" is right around the corner!
