It's Time For A Baby Gate When...

Caroline just about gave me a heart attack this morning. I had sent the older 2 kids upstairs to play, and I put Caroline down by the toy box so I could switch out some loads of laundry. I was literally gone for about 3 minutes, and when I returned, Caroline was gone and the house was quiet.
Big tip-off there that something was going on.
I went to the stairs, and there she was--halfway up!! She has not attempted to fully climb the stairs until today. She has gotten onto the bottom stair before, but she instantly cried because she didn't know how to go up or get back down. I quickly snapped a picture and yanked her down.
Needless to say, this momma is heading to the store to buy a baby gate (let me mention I already have one at the top of the stairs). Watch out world! The littlest Haskell is on the move!

Oh my goodness! WTG Ms. Caroline. :) I find it funny that we mothers find something funny and have to instantly take a pic before correcting the situation. LOL We need to wear a camera around our neck at all times. :D

I swear I thought that was my house! The carpet and stairs look exactly the same! Ha! She's on the move now! Better loan her Charlie's leash until the baby gate is in place!!
