Well that time has finally come...it has been almost 2 years since my house has been babyproof! Now that Natalie is almost 5 she knows what she can and can't touch and get in to (although she doesn't always follow those rules) She knows she is not aloud to plug anything in and to stay away from the fireplace. However, Noah is unaware of these rules (and he is only 6 months old and doesnt quite understand) Since he has decided that he is going to rolling wherever he pleases and has been getting up on his hands and knees and tries to crawl I feel that it is time that I start preparing our house.
When Natalie was little I had a plug protector in every outlet and she never once tried to mess with them. I also had the locks on all of the cabinets underneath the sinks and yet she never once tried to get into them. She did however take an intrest in the fireplace which is surrounded by about 4 inches of brick. I was slways afraid that she would crack her head on them so I surrounded the brick with plain old pillows. This time around I want something a little nicer.
Goals for next week...
#1 baby proof the house
#2 shop for decorative pillows
#3 snuggle with my little man...Natalie will be in Iowa till next friday :(

Home Alone
I love spending time with Nat and Noah. However...every now and then Bry and I need some alone time. Yesterday morning Natalie decided that she wanted to stay the night with her Grandma Nancy. Which really wasn't a shock to me since she has a bigger social life than me and rarely stays at home. So I figured it would be just me, Bryan and Noah at home watching tv for the night. (Noah would probably be more interested in chewing on his hands then whats on tv to be honest.) When Bryan got home we decided to go out to dinner at Red Lobster (YUM) with our friend Nick. Dinner was AMAZING! Bryan then had the brilliant idea of going to see a movie. So I called up my sister Lydia to see if she could keep Noah for the night. Of course she said yes. i dont think she has every said no when it comes to watching Natalie and Noah. Well the movie we wanted to see didnt start till 10pm. WAAAAAAAY to late for us to go to. I am usually in bed by 11. We ended up renting a few movies and cuddled up on the couch to watch them. It wasn't the most exciting night but it was still fun. Although my babies are my world so is my husband. Every now and then we need a break from all the barbie's, bottles and binkies. We are just so greatful that there are so many people in our lives that love our children and want to spend just as much time with them as we do. Gotta love all the Mimi's, Papa's, Gramma's, Grampa's and Aunt's out there.
