How to piss off an 11 month old...

Well, 2 days short of 11 months, anyway.

When I cleaned out the pantry (see 100 posts below), I found the giant baggy of baby proofing stuff. Charlotte wasn't a nosy baby, so we didn't need half of the stuff. Plus we have no coffee table or other low, square items (so no need for the sharp edge bumpers), about 3 outlets in the whole house that aren't blocked by furniture. So clearly babyproofing is not our bailiwick.

So I blocked the offensive outlets. And then I found one of those locks for side-by-side cabinet doors, and put it on the tv stand doors that Ellie always opens and ransacks. Since I put it on, she's given me several dirty looks (honest to God), after each she turns around and tugs and tugs and tugs on it. Then she'll do a "BABABABABABA" angry babble, shoot me a look again, and then resume tugging. Twice now, she's pretty much crawled away in disgust. Hee hee hee.

Ha, when my niece was born my older brother and his wife were like "there is no manual that prepares you, just makes you feel calm enough to not freak out the first time she cries". Parents FTW
