What Goes Up Must Come Down

We knew once Honey mastered the stairs to the loft, she would figure out that going down to the lower level would be fun, also. She did! Yesterday she got a lot of exercise just running up and down the steps. The lower level is used as a family room on one side and storage on the other and is divided by the steps. I did a quick put away since Honey can get into anything – and we spent the day learning what was still available! First came books...we have book cases down there and so she was bringing first paperbacks and then a hardback up to play with. Ripped the cover off of one and just played with the others. I realized that if I gave her a treat she might think I was rewarding her...so I called her name and when she came she got a treat and I quickly got the item. After the books it was an assortment of things including dental floss. Now where did that come from??? Oh yes, put in a basket to put away along with the key holder she found. We laughed the most when she brought up a battery pack. The package held 20 AA batteries and she was really enjoying chewing on them. For some reason this really cracked us up...and we did get them off her. This morning she was at it again with another batter pack (different in a different location) and finally she fell asleep while eating a piece of paper. We have now closed off both the loft and the lower level with gates. While I intend to take her up or down when we are there, allowing her the run of the house is NOT working as there are too many things for her to get into. She is getting better...today I wore some fluffy bedroom slippers and she didn't try to eat them which she did do several weeks ago. I guess it's all about growing up. She is now 4½ months old. And still growing. Below are some new pictures.

She was really going to town on the batteries



And below, this morning she got a piece of paper and while playing, fell asleep..one piece in her mouth, the other on the floor..
tired little girl!
