Our sweet baby girl is into everything lately. By the time Neil comes home from work I am literally shaking some days because I have saved her life at least five times. In fact just the other afternoon she had a chocolate Easter egg in her mouth, tin wrapper and all! You know the ones that are the perfect size to completely block her throat! She sweeps her hand underneath the furniture for things so I find myself pacing from room to room searching for possible dangers.
She is also an expert at climbing stairs! Luckily we have a door to the room where the steps are, but my sweet children are sometimes forgetful and leave it open. I made the mistake of sitting down to peel potatoes the other day and realized it was too quiet. Sure enough Allyson was on the second floor!
The play pen is good for about 15 minutes, baby gates are tough because Lindsey and the neighborhood children can't figure them out. We have one gate that is at the top of the steps.
Allyson is faster and faster every day. She swiped a strawberry from the table (Lindsey left it a little bit too close to the edge.) and took off running leaving a trail of juice that was dripping from her chin and her clenched hand the other day. God bless her. You could hear her belly laughing from down the block!
She also enjoys playing the drums on the toilet, eating the shmutz from Ryan's baseball cleats,and chewing on electrical cords and unattended Pokemon cards. Baby proofing was so much simpler when I had less children. LOL!
Needless to say, I have a ton of unfinished projects, a big pile of dirty laundry, but a huge smile on my face because...well, just look at her!
Enjoy the day!

Sounds like she definitely keeps you on your toes! Although quite tiring, I'm sure.. Glad to read the joy that you still get from the tales & triumphs that are this sweet doll :)
ahhh yes we have recently entered this stage too. thefirst time you just baby proofed and it was easy.. this time you have the other kids, and all the stuff that comes with them! I am always scooping things out of maddies mouth within moments of her choking on it. I wonder sometimes where all these little things come from!!! i was sure i just checked there but sure enough she will find them!! She is just so sweet that little ally!! good luck!!
