Babies: 9 - 12 Months

We have a goat!

We have been using baby gates for several months now. We mostly just use them to block of the kitchen and to keep her from getting to the cats' water bowl. We knew we would have to put one at the bottom of the stairs eventually, but since she just started cruising, I thought we had some time. This morning she was playing on the floor, and I looked over and she was standing on the third step from the bottom. I have no clue how she got there, but I almost peed myself trying to get across my slippery hardwood floor before she fell. She thought the whole thing was funny. I really didn't think we would be at this point so soon.

Re: We have a goat!

  • they move fast... DD can climb the entire stairs (with me behind her of course).  I did almost have a heart attack one day when she had climbed up about 4 stairs. She's a daredevil. We had a hard time finding a gate long enough to fit the bottom of our stairs (we have spindle to spindle, no walls to attach gate to) so we purchased a oil rubbed bronze free standing dog gate from Frontgate.  It now blocks the 2 of them off from the kitchen and the stairs and only allows them to go in the family room.. unless we want to let them go all over the house.

  • i know!! DH did the exact same thing but went up the entire stair case. i seriously turned around for like 2 seconds and he was at the top just laughing at me. he was so lucky that he didn't fall backwards.
