Noah Proofed? Ha!
I have concluded that there is no way to Noah-proof my house. I think if I moved every piece of furniture out he would learn to climb the walls. We have had to move the coffe table downstairs, tape the oven shut, put up three gates, keep all of the doors closed, turn over the piano bench, and keep the pillows out of reach just to name a few. To explain the pillow thing, he discovered that he can pull them down and stand on a few to climb up on the couch, which would be fine except he goes to the edge and leans over head first or dives off head first just barely catching himself with his arms. I was getting the kids pajamas out for them and Noah ran out of the room. I ran through my list, is the gate up? are the doors closed? is the oven taped? etc. He had a different plan in mind and literally 30 seconds later he had made it out to the kitchen, climbed up a dining room chair and was standing on the counter by the sink! I'm really considering doing without the kitchen table for the next few months.
I do want to add that I love his adventurous personality. It makes him just as endearing as he is a handful. He never ceases to amaze me, and I wouldn't change him for anything. We sure love our Noah!

I'm guessing you don't want to go with Jeff Foxworthy's sage advice: "Let'em pull the TV on his head a few times...He'll learn."
Well, I guess he has the climbing and adventure jeans from his parents!! You should have expected this. Good Luck!
