Getting Organized..

Well, the house is painted, we are regularly using our gym, we have a new stereo, stereo cabinet, sofa table, and end table. Things in the house are coming together.

We just have a few photos to frame and hang up, and do a bit of decorating in our bedroom. Unfortunately for our guests, it looks like after all of these purchases, that the futon will remain as our guest bed. Eventually that will change too, into something nicer.

Also, we have activities planned out for every week now. I reached the plateau of utter boredom around 2 weeks ago. Since then we have started Diaper Fit on Mondays, we signed up for Level 2 Gymboree on Wednesdays (much more fun for me), and have submitted an application for Mother Goose on Fridays (it is a lottery though, so not sure if we'll get in). Kind of crappy that things cost $$--Gymboree was $190 for 12 weeks! oh well.

Yesterday we went to Baby Proofing Plus (massive store with regular baby stuff, plus a ton of baby gates and baby proofing things). We got a black baby gate which will blend in with our staircase, and some of those plug covers. We'll start with that until we can see how fast she moves and where she goes. I'm not planning on leaving her alone in order for her to make her way into the bathroom or anything like that, so we'll see what happens when she is walking. I guess we'll have to turn off the pilot light in the fireplace soon, since it is pretty warm normally. She hasn't even looked at the fireplace really. Oh yes, I also got a little fabric insert that I can put in a shopping cart so she can't touch the cart in any way! I think I could start to put her in the cart on her own at any time now. That will be good for places like Zellers where they don't have the proper cart to put the car seat in. Not that she will be in her car seat for much longer, really. If she is bundled up she barely fits in the seat. As long as it gets warm early this year we might be fine until May or June I would think.

Anyway, off to wake up Paige and get ready for Diaper Fit.
