Esme is now officially a toddler, says I

Up until now we have been corraling Esme in a 6 foot by 8 foot or so area with baby gates and high furniture. We had that area babyproofed as well as we could and it has served us well. It has kept her safe and given her plenty of room to play at the same time. Well... those days are coming to an end.

Esme climbed the blanket on the bed tonight, got up on it, and promptly fell off the other side. If she can do that then there is no keeping her in that corral (successfully) anymore. Esme wasn't hurt, just stunned - and to be honest we are stunned too. She isn't even one year old!

We have to block the stairs again and start babyproofing the entire room! That is going to take some work. Luckily I have tomorrow off. And Esme is more than walking now, she is almost running. I think Grandpa and Grandma really need to see this tomorrow if we can work it in. Mark said when he brought Esme up there last week she hardly walked for them at all.

Glad she is ok. She'll be into everything now.
