My mom says that Charis is now living in a gated community! Brad and his dad installed several baby gates around the house this weekend. I feel quite confined along with Charis but we are thankful for the new gates as confined is not always a bad thing! I am just use to freely moving about my home but now there are pauses for gate openings; all worth the safety of the little one though. The gates are really nice and easy to operate which I am really thankful for. It was worth spending the extra money, I now admit, for a nice sturdy gate that I will not get frustrated with. We also purchased the little outlet covers so that there will be no electrocution going on. It is always nice to not have to worry about such things. This mobility thing is a whole new world. It is amazing to watch Charis move about, sitting, pulling up etc. It is also amazing to think that she has now spent more time outside of me than inside of me. Time does fly and they really do grow up so quickly before I know it the gates will be gone.
