Baby Proofing

So apparently all of the stylish low furniture we have is completely impractical now that baby Socket is starting to crawl/walk.  Our bookshelf for example now looks like this, otherwise all the books get dumped on the floor and the pages eaten/ripped out:

Also, all the open doorways in the house (and there seem like tons of them) are now baby jails! If any parents are looking for a good solid gate that’s relatively inexpensive, we recommend the Evenflo Top of Stair Gate. It attaches securely to the wall, is easy to open/close, and can be removed in just a few seconds.

Not to mention our coffee table, now complete with the newest trend in home design: foam corner non-eye-poker-outers!

We’ve also had to lock up most of our cabinets drawers & found that most of the child safety latches out there either break the first time you test them, or are so fool proof that it’ll take you 10 minutes to open it. The only ones we’ve found so far that work well are these adjustable straps.
