Is there really a way to completely baby proof before a baby is mobile? I am not certain that you can do too much until they are crawling and then the requirement is to just follow the baby around at first and find and remove the “hot spots”. Julia was playing in Ellie’s little school area yesterday afternoon and Ellie was so sweet about removing things that would hurt Julia. She is a great guardian of her baby sister. She is very proud of herself when she finds something, holds it up, and says, “Choking Hazard!”
Julia made at least three laps around the house this morning. So far, she is more following us around rather than going off on her own to explore. We have a sunken living room and she can go up the step, and we are working on teaching her “feet first” down the step. Earlier, no one noticed that she was close to the step and she went nose first (onto carpeting). There was so much comforting done by sweet Hannah that Mom hardly had a chance to make it better.
Julia was very ready for her nap and I am sure she will sleep well after all that exercise.
