Chan-Sizzle usually recommends that parents start baby proofing at 9 months but because Charlie is rolling everywhere he wants to be we're getting any early start. Like everything else the baby proofing market is ridiculous and adds up quickly. I originally wanted a baby gate/fence or as Jose lovingly refers to it as the "corral" that was a complete octagon. We bought this "3 in 1 Superyard" with that idea in mind but it's basically no larger than what his pack n play would be set up that way. Basically I fenced him off from the desk/sliding door/tv area and it's working out pretty well. There is still the "under the couch" issue for when one of his toys slides underneath (the usual culprit is his beloved book/chewy) and he has gotten his arm stuck underneath once when he couldn't roll himself out. Otherwise he plays well by himself for about 30 mins at a time with intermediate yelps for when his toy is pushed just out of his rolling path. Keeping the whole condo immaculate with NOTHING on the ground is almost impossible. It seems I'm always finding a penny or a bobby pen or a chunk of cookie or something on the ground and I freak out because I know everything is a choking hazard right now :-( At least in the corral it's a controlled environment.
Happy in "jail"
Here - do you want to play?
