The child who crawls

Lately we've found, that the child who crawls gets into all sorts of things.

Granted, these pictures were taken a few months ago, prior to the crawling phase,

But the toys in the pictures reminded me of something very important.

A child who crawls can get into all sorts of things he's not supposed to get into.

Such as, an older siblings teeny, tiny Littlest Pet Shop toys.  And hair elastics.  And lacing beads.

And electrical outlets.  And wires and chords.  And knives in the dishwasher.

I've forgotten what it's like to have a teeny, tiny little person who crawls.

In the past week, Maxwell's crawling skills have increased by leaps and bounds.
He's pretty good.  And he can get around.  And into things he's not supposed to get into.

But part of that, of course, is my responsibility to childproof the house.   

We may be putting some of the toys away for awhile.
