Now that baby is getting a little bigger and some a little more mobile, what are your main concerns/worries??
William isnt rolling yet, but I will be very worried about him being on my bed once he starts rolling.. I know I will have to watch him very carefully and not be able to just walk away for a second.

Falling off of the sofa or bed either from rolling or trying to sit up. Our babies are at the point that we can't leave them alone not even for a sec unless they are secured.

I definitely worry about him falling from somewhere.. not so much with me, but DH will let him sit for a second and walk away.. he think as long as he's watching him he's okay. But if you're across the room and he rolls off the couch, you're not gonna have time to get there before he falls!!

Not so worried about him rolling off of things as rolling over and getting his face stuck and suffocating. I still wake up several times a night and have to listen to the monitor to hear him breathe or snore.

I'm worried about her rolling of the couch and hitting our stone coffee table. The couch is close enough to the ground that if she did roll off it wouldn't be traumatic, but the coffee table is another story. It will definitely be put away when she starts pulling up/walking.

My nephew who is 6 months old rolled off my brothers bed a couple of weeks ago. He was fine, didn't cry at all and ended up laughing when my brother got to him. Of course, things could have turned out bad and they were lucky it didn't.
I don't really have any fears currently. But once Major starts crawling, I have a fear of him finding things on the floor and eating them. My friends baby ate a hook once (the picture hanging kind - found it under the entertainment center) and had this dramatic trip to the hospital, x-rays, the whole nine. They ended up sending her home and letting her poop it out but that stuff scares me cause it could have pierced her bowel or intestines or something! But also the choking hazard of it. Yeah, that's gonna scare me.

No current fears really. I am a little nervous about when she starts pulling up on stuff b/c I think our TV isn't very secure, but I don't really know how to 'babyproof' it. The whole house isn't any kind of babyproof, but I guess that can be done... the TV I'm not so sure about.

Mainly her rolling off the bed - our bed is pretty tall so it'd be a long fall for her.
We are going to have to completely baby proof the house soon...

I worry about when she starts crawling and eating things off the floor ( not like their are things around now but little things some times get missed, especially withour older daughter being a slob!), I also worry about her licking the floor and their being some sort of chemical on it, I need to start looking into a good all natural floor cleaner soon!

I wasn't strapping my LO in her swing...she just always loved it and never moved and I was always in the room with her...but I was doing dishes the other day and looked away for 5 seconds and she was moving down so far that she almost got out of it...head was half way down the swing and her legs were touching the ground. It wasn't moving since she doesn't seem to like it moving as much anymore but likes to sit in it. But now she is strapped in whenever she goes in there!

We have a cable across the baseboard that is secured to the wall by nailed hook thingies. It seem,ed like a good idea at the time, but now I'm terrified that she'll be able to work one loose and swallow it. DH covered them with tape, and thinks I'm crazy, but now that she's scooting all over the place, I'm not gonna be comfortable till I get an extension and can run the cable across the ceiling instead.

The pit, and pillbugs. I'm trying to get rid of the pillbugs so Kelen doesn't eat them when he starts moving around.

Right now, nothing. Once they are mobile, everything.
I saw in someones DITL, maybe it was on the cloth diaper board, but they had their tv stand surrounded by a gate so the baby couldn't get to it... I like that idea, there are a few spots I would need to have gated, but it's better than putting everything into storage LOL
I guess choking would be my #1 fear.

Nicole, that is terribly scary.. wow.. I actually have the padded table bumpers, they are GREAT!!! They are about 5inches deep of padding like a huge elastic band that goes all around your coffee table or any other table.. kwim?? like a 5 inch, thick padded elastic band.. they stretch over tables to protect baby from corners.. I can post a pic if you guys wanna see one, they are awesome!!!
