For the last few months Chase has been getting progressively better at climbing the stairs. You know, at first I tried thinking of it as something that would really help him developmentally (which it will). But then it's started getting progressively more DANGEROUS. For instance, I'd be working on dinner and Chase would be pleasantly playing with all the bottles, bowls and sippy cups close to me in the kitchen. Then, in a split second, he'd get bored with his current activity and/or spot the cat and sprint after her. Approximately 3 seconds later, I'd finish stirring the spaghetti sauce, and go check on Chase to find him at the fourth step up our staircase. Huh. I guess it's time to get a baby gate in place. See exhibit a:
Here you see Matt hard at work putting together our very first baby gate at the base of our stairs. Chase wasn't all that interested...He was a little more interested in Matt's golf clubs...
"Wait. What are you doing, Dad?? That looks KIND OF interesting..."
Chase decided to check things out.
