Baby proofing

Kristen and I are slowing working our way through baby proofing our apartment. Tonight I installed the first baby gate and this weekend we moved our second bed out of Davis' room and into our office. This gives Davis a lot more safe space and lets us still have guests. Kristen ordered some nice mats for the floor and we are trying to figure out how to make the radiator safe and keep the room warm. We still have a long way to go, but with the progress Davis is showing in crawling and standing, we need to get started.

Davis is a lot more mobile. He isn't yet crawling, but he is turning and scooting (forwards and backwards) and can move around and get to things he wants to play with. Its been really fun to watch his progress and I think we are both looking forward to and dreading when he starts crawling. It is both exciting and sad to see him grow up.

Having our bed in the office has actually turned out to be rather nice. This weekend, I went to a few garage sales with the goal of picking up a new stroller and looking for fall/winter clothes. I met both those goals and also picked up a new monitor stand, an Onkyo TX-8511 stereo receiver. Previously I had been using two reams of paper, but when the printer ran out of paper, my monitor stand was compromised and this seemed like a good alternative. Besides being the right height for a monitor stand, the receiver also allows us to watch movies in our office while relaxing on the bed with a nice fall breeze through the windows (our office has full windows on three sides). The cats seem to enjoy the bed also, it is just the right height for them to relax on and watch the birds in the trees, next door house and power lines.
