Home invasion tips

Sofia, Kevin and I are about to move into our first house together. Kevin and I are extremely excited but we are also worried about the safety factor of it all. Sofia, as I mentioned in an earlier post, is crawling and starting to stand up on her own, so we have had to safety proof everything in our apartment. A house is a lot bigger than an apartment and we are going to now have to safety proof things such as the staircases, which in our new home there is two. So what do we do and how do we know exactly what to childproof without going overboard. My answer is of course to go to Babies "r" Us. In the display near the information desk there is a check list of things that you need to childproof. Obviously, Kevin and I got the basic such as the sockets and the door locks, but we don't have the fireplace safety net or the gates for the staircases.

My tip or suggestion is to go grab one of these check list sheets and go through it with your spouse or partner and make sure that you get all angles to ensure that your precious little angel is safe at all times. You don't want to be taking any trips to the emergency room quite yet!
