Baby Gnat is almost walking, and I forgot. I forgot that babies get into things that they are not supposed to get into, and they go places that are dangerous. Actually I did not forget, I just thought that maybe she would NEVER walk. The new house we moved into is not at all child-proof. When the Brady Bunch lived here their children were all above the age of 4. I think when they actually renovated the house they were trying to make it more dangerous. I have a spiral stair case from the game room into my kitchen, and I could fall through those balusters.
I forgot how babies gravitate towards danger, outlets, Grandfather clocks, Legos. I am constantly asking Eddy to pick up his Legos, because Baby Gnat loves the pretty colors and loves putting things into her little mouth. I forgot, babies who wiggle manage to get poop on their clean clothes, third outfit of the day. It is summer so most of the time I forgo and outfit, as she gets messy even without the poop. I forgot that my little baby burrito, would grow up and want to walk. I am in the safety mode here, and I will try not to let her get into it, but damn it Eddy pick up those Legos.

Yes, babies do have an annoying habit of growing up, don't they? And older brothers have an annoying habit of leaving their "interesting" crap EVERYWHERE! I'll bet if you got out a trash bag and told Eddy Haskell that any little pieces you find on the floor will end up in tha bag, he'd start remembering to pick his stuff up a little better.
