Toddler-Proof

Noah continues to improve with his walking skills and, now, really has no trouble at all getting himself up and going.  However, he does continue to have trouble once he's actually going - i.e. he walks like a drunken sailor at this point.  We are incredibly excited to have Noah walking and we still are taken off-guard oftentimes when he comes walking around the corner.  However, it also makes us a bit nervous.  He currently has a black eye and scrapes on the side of his left knee, not to mention bruises all over, from various falls this week.  He still hasn't quite figured out how to gracefully sit down from a standing position - oftening flopping hard to the floor.  He also often leans towards an object as he is approaching it to grab hold for support, but also often he starts reaching when he is still a little ways away, gets out over his toes and face plants into whatever he was reaching for.  The poor kid is getting the crap beat out of him!  But, to his credit, he just keeps on getting back up.  We baby-proofed the house quite a while ago when he began butt-scooting.  However, with all of this walking around, he's at a whole new level of getting into trouble - literally.  I'm sure all parents have gone through this - and most at an earlier age.  But, we officially now need to worry about toddler-proofing the house...adding locks to the second set of drawers, latching the toilets, reorganizing things on tables and shelves...and we're pretty happy to have to do so!
