Recently, I took down the baby gates and let the girls have access to our entire first floor of the house. They LOVE this. The kitchen is the favorite room in the house, as is for most families. The exploring and running in circles has them ever-busy.

The front door...

The bathroom door...

The funny door stopper...

Mommy's plants and pictures...

Sitting on the window ledge in the kitchen...

Grocery shopping in the kitchen...

Figuring out that the hallway leads to the living room, leads to the kitchen, and back around!

We lowered the highchairs for the girls...

No, we don't drink Red Bull...we just play with the cans. :)

Of course this means I no longer have a room that isn't covered in toys, food or toddler-wares, but they're very happy being able to be with us in any room. Next up, stairs and their bedroom!
