*UPDATE* Thanks for the advice! I bought a playpen yesterday, it's a very pretty baby blue pen! soo cute! It also changes size and shape, and I can connect his little crate to it making it even bigger. My friend said it was bigger than Busch Gardens and made fun of me, "It's a puppy, not a baby!"

(but thats another story lol).
Anyway, I put the playpen in the living room, next to the window so he can have lots of light, and a nice view, and I also got a little radio.
My question now is what should I do about covering the floor inside the playpen? the playpen doesn't have a floor and it's on the carpet.
I thought about putting down a layer of plastic bags, then cardboard, the. Newspapers, and then his potty pads ... Any better ideas? Or should I get an area rug?
