A List of Things I Would Never Know if I Didn't Have A Mobile Baby

1. Our house has way too many electrical outlets.

2. A crawling baby does not equal a longer afternoon nap. (Liars!)

3. Baby gates are expensive.

4. Picking up random crumbs/objects from the carpet makes for excellent fine motor practice.

Mmmm....a random pillow feather? Don't mind if I do.

5. Marli can run, but she cannot hide.

6. I am clearly the least interesting thing in our house.

A string cheese wrapper beats listening to mom sing "The Wheels on the Bus" any day. 

7. Apparently removing Rory from potentially dangerous situations (think sharp corners, small objects, cords) makes me the worst mother ever.

This face is obviously a testament to my failure as a mother.

                                         

8. As much as it pains me to admit it, I'm not always faster than a crawling baby.

9. Apparently, "no" doesn't mean no.
