Let the Baby Proofing Begin!

Max is 6 months and 4 days old today and I've learned I officially need to start baby proofing!
Things I have taken away from him today:

• Trash can in the computer room
• Cable that he managed to get out from behind a filing cabinet
• Lint off the floor
• The door to the dryer - he made his way over there and nearly pulled up on it before I caught him!

My little boy is growing up! He's not yet crawling which is why I didn't think I'd need to baby proof yet, but that kid can sure get around. He rolls every where and when he's not rolling he does these little pre-crawling push-up things (only things touching the ground are his hands and toes - it's really quite impressive. I'm not sure I could do that!) that manage to scoot him backward clear across the room!

Oh, and he had his 6 month check-up yesterday. He weighs 17 lbs 14 oz. and is 27.5 inches long. 42nd percentile for weight and 80th for height. I keep telling him to catch up with his buddy on the West Coast, the Other Max Arthur , but he doesn't seem to be listening! That's okay, he's perfect just the way he is. : )
