Baby's Playground

Her crib is like her safe haven for fun. These days, her curiosity and increased mobility will wreak havoc whenever she is let loose. So we usually leave her in the crib if we need to concentrate on some short task without her crawling over.

But most days, the living room and bedroom are both her playground and she roams from one to the other with consummate ease... so I leave a little crate of toys for her in each room... but she's very good at leaving a trail of mess wherever she goes. And our little budding engineer just loves to go after the electrical wires and laptop and modem - all the forbidden items.

Look at her satisfied look when she manages to stand successfully.

See how straight baby can sit up now.
