Baby Proofing

We spent our Saturday getting ready for the adoption home visit and baby proofing our house. We underestimated how long each project would take. We changed out some outlets, put new outlet covers on some outlets and put plugs in the rest of the outlets. We also put cabinet locks on all of the under-the-sink cabinets in the kitchen and bathrooms, as well as a lock on the linen closet.

Here are the tools we used throughout the day scattered on the floor.

Roxanne's big project, which took just under 3 hours, was installing the baby gate. Between the leveling and trying to line everything up, it was a lot harder than I thought it would be. In the end we have a working baby gate at the top of the stairs that I don't think will ever come off.

While Rox and I were working hard on baby proofing, our angel slept in her bed. She still is not able to roll over or really move around, but by the time she is mobile, we want all of this stuff already in place.
