Baby Proofing!

It is official, we have started the "baby proofing" of our house.  I know it is a little early because Dominic is not even crawling yet, but the OCD in me was screaming to get these things taken care of.  Here are a few of the changes that have happened so far.  We of course started with the outlet covers....and then moved on to door handle covers (because Dominic is sure to start trying to open doors any day now) :)

Our next change was a much needed baby gate blocking the stairs that lead to my basement.  This was a PROCESS!!  It was so much harder to install than we thought.   But it is nice and sturdy and blends pretty well with the walls.

Finally, I have started to reduce the number of breakable objects that are within the reach of tiny little hands.  I used to have picture frames, candles and knickknacks on these shelves, but as you can see, they have been replaced with fabric bins.  This is much safer....and provides some much needed storage for obnoxious baby nonsense.
