A Sunny Day in the Neighborhood

Mason and I took advantage of the sun today and spent the afternoon in the park.  Mason loves to swing, go down the slide, walk around the play structures and most of all eat/play in the bark.

 Check out my four teeth!

 I'm ready to climb up to go down the slide.

 I love the gears!

Ringing the bell.

We had a great time and the fresh air really wore both of us out.  Once we got home I wanted to switch out a bit of Mason's clothes that he has FINALLY out grown!(his 3 to 6 month pants)  Well I brought all the drawers down stairs so that Mason could play as I was doing it.  Once I was done, I put the baby gate up and took the drawers back upstairs.  Mason screams when you leave him down stairs but it is too hard to try to do it with him or allow him to go up and down with you.  He has mastered going up but is still really bad at going down without LOTS of help.  Well I am sure you know where I am going with this story.....I am up stairs he is down stairs screaming and all of a sudden I hear a laugh and there he is at the top of the stairs.  Now it was no more then 3 to 5 minutes and I was talking to him the whole time.  I am still trying to figure out how he got OVER the baby gate and did not nose dive into the stair on the otherside, but none the less he got OVER it, did not pull in DOWN and did NOT KILL himself.  Thank God for the last part of that because when I saw him at the top of the stairs all I could think was oh my God how did you get up here!  I hope everyone had a great weekend and if you have any ideas of how to child proof the baby gate/stairs I would LOVE to hear them!
