Babyproofing Needed

Joshua has gotten to the point where he is exploring our apartment constantly. He follows me from room to room, and stops long enough to open all of the cabinets in that particular room and pull a few things out. Here are a few of the day-to-day adventures and spills he has had in the last week.

While cruising around the ottoman, he lost his balance and fell against the foot of the couch...you know it is a hard fall when you can hear the smack of his head against the wood. He is a champ and only cried for about 20 seconds. A bruise appeared seconds later. I was sure it was going to turn into a full-fledged black eye by the next day, but somehow it just stayed pink.

The culprit...


The result (look closely at the corner of his right eye)...


When I am in the kitchen loading the dishwasher, Joshua loves to pull the bottom drawer in and out, in and out, in and out...you get the point. He managed to get his hands on some of the utensils. He is truly a man after his Momma's heart, because he pulled the ice cream scoop out and licked it for several minutes hoping to get any leftover drops of icecream. He hasn't actually tasted ice cream yet, but he will love it when he does.



Here is Joshua sporting his Dallas Mavericks shorts and chewing on the rattle. Kristin and Todd, huge Mavs fans, gave these to us before Joshua was born. Who knew that they would be on a 16 game winning streak when he was able to wear them...go Mavs!
