So, I have to renege on what I said about Daven and not being mobile. Last night, I had Daven in his walker as I was busy cooking dinner. I was cooking away not thinking about anything else in the world when I hear Daven starting to move around in his walker. Still not thinking much I then hear him crash into something. So I peak around the corner to check on him and his fingers were red. I panicked thinking he was bleeding and couldn’t figure out what it was coming from.
As I am franticly searching for the source of the blood, I noticed a strong cinnamon smell??? “What in the world?” I was saying to myself. Then I started looking around and he had gotten far enough to reach the end table. On that table I have a warming plate that heats up wax to fill the room with a sweet smell of…cinnamon.
Sure enough, my inspection lead to this…

Unfortunately, I didn't grab the camera before I had him all cleaned up. That would have been a great picture!
Thank goodness that I did not have the warming plate on and wax hot. I guess I really need to start paying more attention to my now somewhat mobile child. I forget that he isn’t just a baby that plays in the floor without going too far.
My big boy will soon be getting into many more things that I will be chasing after him saying “No, Daven…” Again, I look forward to this day. What little I already do makes me smile on the inside.
Happy Friday everybody!
LOVE LOVE LOVE

Oh No time to baby proof...LOL I am not looking forward to that again. Sweet curious little Daven getting into Mommy's things. LOL
Erik always empties out the one bathroom cupboard without a lock on it. I think having rolls of toilet paper strewn about the living room gives things such a homey, casual feel. The rest of the house is like Fort Knox and I let him have his fun in that little corner. Besides, TP rolls so nicely. Congrats on your mobile boy! This could be the first part of that big surge I was talking about! xoxoxoxox
what a great picture. i at first imagined it to be like a huge nose and a small smile captured in the wax...but then i thought...nahhh...
lol

I remember having such nice candles and knick-knacks out... then I had Michael who walked at 10 months and was into everything. Eight years later, those candles and fancy holders are still put away and not about to come out yet with Brady right around the corner doing his thing! Ah... the house of a family!
All I have to say is make sure you put any containers of vaseline up WAY high.........BIG MESSES...I have seen this happen first hand!Not good!
