Time to Baby Proof ??...

This past Tuesday, the day after I got home from my great weekend getaway in Texas with my sisters, I went upstairs to put away some laundry and left my kids downstairs happily playing in the toy room. That includes Madelyn too...she is crawling all over and crawls happily all over the play room moving from toy to toy. Well this day she must have seen me go up stairs because when I came down the stairs this is what I saw...


That's right! She has discovered the stairs and when I first saw her she actually had a knee up on the first step and was about to climb up but I didn't catch that in the picture. AHH!! I was hoping it would take a lot longer for her to discover the stairs!! Now there's no turning back! I haven't ever had stairs with a little tiny one so this is a first! Time to get the gate out and somehow get it to work on this impossible stair rail! Dang!

Since then, Madelyn has also discovered a new toy that used to be Kali's and was in Kali's bedroom until this week. It is this adorable little chair that sings and lights up. Madelyn LOVES it and crawls to it anytime I put her down to play with toys. She thinks it is the funniest thing when it starts to sing songs and talk anytime she pushes the light or seat.



I also forgot to mention that she LOVES to pull herself up and stand with the toy. I can't believe how quick she is!! She is very much like her brother in that way. Gotta love her though! She is quite the little cutie!! I have a feeling it won't be long until she discovers the cupboards and drawers!! But who could get mad at that adorable face?!!

Ohhh she is so adorable and looks more like Zach everyday to me. Time to break out the gate I guess. I can't believe how fast she is growing!! So cute!

She is absolutely adorable! And baby proofing-not fun! :) It's nice when they grow out of that stage!!!

I have to agree with Kelli! She is so gorgeous in that picture, but if it weren't for the earrings, you might mix that picture up with Zach someday! She really looks like him a lot! Great picture! I LOVE HER!

OH my GOSH KARI!! I swear, Madelyn and Jordan are hitting all these milestones at the same time and he's FOUR months OLDER!! AHHHHH!! WHAT A CUTE PICTURE at the end!! Ugh, she's so ZACH only pretty!!!

I have to agree with the others. She looks SOOOOOOOOOOOOO much like Zach - gorgeous eyes - WOW!!

I can't believe how fast she is growing, so much quicker than Morgan. Guess if Morgan didn't weigh 20 lbs. she might be able to crawl too - haha!! Have fun with the stairs, it has always been a pain, but it's only for a short time. Take care!

I miss Madelyn! I can't believe she's climbing stairs already. So cute!

That sure is an adorable little face!! Her eyes are so beautiful! I'm so glad I don't have stairs for that reason. Kids and stairs is definitely an anxiety attack waiting to happen!
