It's Criminal

So, I've got a new name to add to the list:  Zippy Boo Boo.

Yesterday, we went to BJ's since the configurable baby pens (jail) were on sale and bought two sets.  Now, they are joined together to make one huge oval with the back of the sofa along one long side and the tv stand on the outside of the other long side.

Basically, we are penned in with Boo.  That's okay though because we were always in that spot anyway.  Now, it means we can watch him less worry less while he is playing because it was kind of a death trap all around.  The list of child unfriendly features include the possibility of;

• getting pinned under the recliner
• getting a digit caught in the moving parts of the glider and ottoman
• getting tangled/strangled with any of the numerous cords in the rats nest of cabling behind the tv stand
• getting electrocuted by one of the many exposed power strips just laying around...
• a combination of the two for randomly plugged in things like the fancy swing he is way too big for
• some injury related to making contact with the brick base of the fireplace.  (Ah, fireplace.  What better way to make one side of a room completely unusable?)

There are probably at least ten more, but since we don't have child-proofed eyeballs, we just don't see the pitfalls yet.

Yet.

So yeah, Zippy Boo can motor.  It's not elegant, but when he wants something, he will get there.  He is all over the place.  I must say though that I am very pleased because he learned how to crawl organically.  He has gotten so much tummy time and prefers it now to the point where it's odd ever thinking he preferred his back.  He props up on all fours, and often goes into pike position.  He skipped the army crawl and is properly up on his hands and knees in table top.  Good job, kiddo!

Baby jail is going to be nice, at least for a short while.   Add that to the short list of safe spots for Boo.
