Childproofing

Now that Lily is on the move, it is increasingly harder to watch her and get anything else done. The other night, I didn't get to relax at all. I was up and down chasing her all evening. And she's getting to the point where she doesn't want to be held. She wants to crawl around and explore her world. We got so tired of chasing her that Daddy stuck her in a laundry basket! She loved it.

Lily laughing at Peeve. Slater doesn't go anywhere near her.

This was the first time Anson and I saw Lily pull herself up to a standing position.

We solved our childproofing issue by buying a play yard to put up in the living room. It takes up the entire living room, but it's worth it. Plus we can take it with us or outside. We are really excited about it. We got the idea from Jen & Ken. They have theirs up in their basement family room.Okay, Grandma Cross, this is for you. Unfortunately she doesn't like to show off her tooth. And when you try to hold her down in any way, she gets mad! This was the best we could do. She has one (on the left) and another one coming in on the right.

Yesterday we went down to Columbus to visit with Chris and Kim. They are doing really well. They are busy renovating areas of their house. We stayed the night and then came home today. It was a very nice visit. Quick trip but at least we could see them for as long as we did. I didn't take any pictures while we were there. I suppose I just forgot.

Tomorrow is Lily's 9 month well baby check-up, so I'll post again tomorrow or Tuesday with her stats. Have a good week everyone!
