Oh, Jess, the videos kill me. And he's all, "Why is Daddy WAY UP THERE, damn it?"
Baby gates are probably a go, yeah. Cutiehead.
Early: So is it still her room when it's empty? Does the room, the thing, have purpose? Or do we -- what's the word? Simon: I really can't help you. Early: The plan is to take your sister. Get the reward, which is substantial. 'Imbue.' That's the word.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
OK, you know what I hate? When the "hotline" that's supposed to help me figure out this inscrutable government website keeps hanging up on me. I mean, seriously. WTF, government??

Yeah, all babies go backwards first - it's easier to push back with your arms than the other way around, I guess. Forward mobility is pretty exciting! And scary!

He's plenty slow still. You probably have a few days before the OMG emergency baby gate run - so plan ahead, and get them this weekend!
Speaking of baby-proofing, this article in the NYT cracked me up: [link] The people who had to remove their designer chairs with "razor-sharp edges" when they had a kid... what about before they had kids, when regular old klutzy people like me came to visit? Or do they only have graceful friends?

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
OH! I've been meaning to say that I have drawer baby guards as well as stove knob baby guards if any b.org parents are in want of them. They were never used since mac was 5 and not a 2 year old.

Maybe they just don't like their friends?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I hate the NYTimes's "lifestyle" articles.
Yeah, I got about three paragraphs into that yesterday before I realized I didn't care about people whose kids put a cramp in their interior decorating.

I think the Style section should be read from the perspective of three glasses of gin.

Okay, people who put up silk Shantung curtains in the babies' room are either too dumb to breed, or too rich to complain about it. Seriously.
msbelle, thanks for the offer, but we're planning to just put up a gate and make the whole kitchen off-limits.
My biggest worry right now is the TV shelf. Like his Mom, Dylan is drawn to shiny blinky things with buttons on them, but I'd rather the Tivo not turn into a teething toy.
