Mobility update
Put Pickle to sleep last night. Five minutes later, hear crying. Wait it out. Doesn’t stop. Go in to rock him back to sleep….find him STANDING UP IN THE FRELLING CRIB.
Now, this isn’t the first time he’s pulled himself up to standing, or even the first time he’s done it in the crib. But it’s the first time he’s done it (a) at bedtime, (b) from lying down, and (c) wearing a sleepsack.
He’s napping now. As soon as he wakes up, we are going to Babies R Us and cleaning out their babyproofing section. Gates are going up EVERYWHERE. Padding will be afixed to the edges of EVERYTHING. (Meanwhile a part of me is thinking, wouldn’t it just be easier to cushion the baby?)
