Marcella's Kitchen Drawer

At a little over 9 months of age, it is no secret that Marcella is mobile and active. In fact, on numerous occasions I have already been told I am just raising myself--an active individual who doesn't like naps and appreciates routine. Well the other evening, Marci discovered my baking drawer. Filled with measuring cups, teaspoons, tablespoons, mixing beaters, and cookie spatulas Marcella was in heaven. She stood and talked up a storm while carefully pulling each item out of the drawer. She even discovered that tablespoons make a pretty loud noise when banged on the oven door. At first, I attempted to put the items back. I quickly learned keeping her out without a drawer lock is nearly impossible...so this has become Marci's Kitchen Drawer.
