Comments on: Necessity: The Mother of Invention http://heidisblog.biglaughs.org/2008/02/25/necessity-the-mother-of-invention/ stories and photos from a hopeless romantic Wed, 07 Jan 2009 00:16:50 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6 By: Heidi http://heidisblog.biglaughs.org/2008/02/25/necessity-the-mother-of-invention/#comment-1073 Heidi Tue, 26 Feb 2008 22:31:30 +0000 http://heidisblog.biglaughs.org/2008/02/25/necessity-the-mother-of-invention/#comment-1073 Thanks, everyone!! --- Melissa: No, he hasn't started crawling! We kept waiting and waiting, but he loves to "walk" so much with our hands and the furniture that now we think he's going to completely skip crawling and go right to the walking. Which, to be honest, is fine with me, since it's given me almost 11 months of a stationary baby. :):) --- Tearese: LOL!! That's EXACTLY what I was afraid of (that is too funny that you thought that, too). So, I made Charming put in TWO little hooks on each side of the cord, so that if one hook came out then there was another one still holding the bungee cord. (I was going to make him do more than two, but he thought I was being a little too paranoid, so we compromised at two). I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks of every possible disaster/accident that could happen (and then brainstorms how to keep it from happening). :):) Thanks, everyone!!

And what a good idea to secure the trash/recycling bins! I'm sure you'll have more opportunities to come up with solutions like that as he gets more mobile! By the way, is he crawling yet?

To be honest, though, I think the idea of restraining the cans was Heidi's. I drilled the holes. Great post, Love! So cute! To be honest, though, I think the idea of restraining the cans was Heidi’s.
