I mentioned a couple of weeks ago that we needed to put up the gate to keep Rose in the family room. The family room is fairly "baby proofed" and is now blocked off from all the stairs.
Early on, she wasn't able to negotiate the 1 inch lip at the bottom of the gate, so with the gate open, she was stuck inside the family room.
A couple of days ago, she struggled and thought and battled and managed to get over that lip. She then fell hard on her nose and started a nosebleed, poor little lady! But she did get over it.
So the next stage commences. Now we need the gate closed.
Eventually she'll figure out how to open the gate, and we'll have to bungee it shut for a season.
After that, she'll figure out how to loosen the bungee cords, and we'll remove the gate and have to watch her very carefully near the stairs.
Ah, the excitement of babyhood, for all of us.
