Michael is crawling

It's official, Michael can now crawl all over. This has proved to be the best tool in baby proofing the house: he finds everything, and I take it away. Talk about some major adjustments. Now, I've always thought of myself as a pretty clean kept person, but I am finding things out about my house that I never new. For example, when Michael first discovered the kitchen a few days ago, I didn't think it would be a problem to let him just explore the tile while I made dinner. At least, I didn't think it would be a problem until I noticed all the things he found on the floor. In fact, even after taking away all the big things I didn't want him into, he still had some dirt and other odd stuff that stuck to the palms of his hands. I guess I didn't realize how dirty the floor was until he was crawling on it. I promptly moved him to center of the other room with all his toys and swept. But, just in case, in order to keep him from coming back into the kitchen to my sweep pile, I put some laundry baskets blocking the kitchen entry (as we do not have a baby gate just yet). Next thing I know, he is playing with the socks I had just folded. Talk about little Mr. Underfoot. Well, I couldn't think anything but how cute it was, so I took a picture. He looks pretty pleased with himself. As for now on, I will be a little more keen as to how clean the floor is.
