We continue to work on baby-proofing. Matt is getting used to spending a little time in the pack n play and play yard, and we'll all be getting used to living with baby gates.
The baby gates are necessary because Matt quickly managed to figure out how to scale the step between the sunken family room and the rest of the house.

Here comes trouble!
The cat is not amused by the dramatic change to her quality of life, especially since the baby loves to go after the cat toys (payback, perhaps, for her trying to steal his?).
We managed to go for some outings last week, too. Monday we went to baby play group, our first one that was able to move outside for some fresh air. Tuesday we met a number of friends at a local state park for a hike organized by another moms' group. Afterwards we stayed for a picnic lunch and played on the playground.

Exhausted baby!
Wednesday we had a quiet day at home while Matt caught up on eating and sleeping; as you can see above, he needed it! Thursday my friend who watches Matt was sick, so instead of going into work I took us to meet my moms' club at a local playground for more swinging and sliding and then got my car inspected (not fun, but necessary). Friday we went for a walk at a different local park with a few other moms and their little ones, and then Saturday we stayed at home to do some things around the house, like figure out how to arrange the baby gates. Sunday we went to get our last plant CSA pick-up and stayed for a walk around the gardens.

Just a couple of more photos:
Matt has now had turnips (his least favorite food so far), cherries (super yummy!), and apples (tasty!).
To end, a goofy baby
