Burden of proof...

We have not made much progress toward baby-proofing our house... and the list isn't getting any shorter. She flies up the stairs, tries to slide head-first down them, and has yet to meet an electrical outlet that she doesn't love. She knows how to open every drawer and cupboard, and manages to only close them at the exact moment that her little fingers are in position to get smashed. Somehow every knife, slicer, dicer, peeler, and clever is in the bottomest drawer in the kitchen.We have hardwood floors, fireplaces, and tons of low bookshelves overflowing with the heaviest tomes and textbooks available... not that it matters which shelf things are on because she can climb them with the ease of a Sherpa at the Arb.

I guess on some level it is good for her to be able to explore and learn on her own, but we are going to have to start to get serious soon...

What is it with babies and electrical outlets??? Other then the sharp kitchen stuff, I say let her explore, who knows what favortie pasttime she might discover. Or you can look at it as a great way to get rid of things you don't really need, we did! Have fun.
