a scare
You know those woolly felt stickies you put on the bottom of furniture to protect your floors from scratches? Well Eddie got a hold of one of them and had it in his mouth for a good 20 minutes before I realized it. He was crawling around in our living and dining room, and I noticed him drooling a lot and sort of saw him making chewing motions. So I checked his mouth and didn't feel anything. Then about ten minutes later we were upstairs getting ready for a nap and I was feeding him and he kept biting my nipple. Then he de-latched and was biting my shoulder and bra strap. I was like, hmmm, maybe you are teething? And so I stuck my finger in his mouth to see if I felt any teeth budding and instead I felt something rough, and my first reaction was like, what is that your tongue? Then I realized it was some foreign object and pulled it out. I felt so lucky that we didn't have a choking episode. And after putting him down for his nap I proceeded to remove all those damn things from our furniture...not gonna risk that one again!

wow, that is so scary! i hate that they put EVERYTHING into their mouths right now. we had a similar brief scare when lucia took a barrette out of her hair and plopped it in her mouth. i discovered it right away and then said, no more barrettes! you can't even blink!
p.s. i got your comment about baby gates. Four were given to us of all different brands. they all work really well. we have a kolcraft, evenflo, and safety first!
Another option is to get sliders that nail into the bottom of each leg. No way in heck could he pull those out.
