Life has been flying by pretty fast lately, and we have to keep up with the boys more than ever. The boys have moved from walking to climbing. They move a lot faster and they also both both can walk sideways now. We had a sit down talk the other night where both boys were warned that if they line dance, then will not get to walk anymore . . . ever. They do not line dance. Instead, they bob their heads to Lolli-Lolli. The boys really want to see Three Six Mafia on Yo Gabba Gabba.
We had to dismantle the family room. We resurrected the old TV stand (Kyle's 2001 Christmas present from Grandma Sue), took the cushions of the sectional, and glued broken glass all along the edges of the counter top in the family room so the boys cannot climb out. We also have caved in and allow them free reign over the fire place. Once the superyard becomes obsolete, then we will have big problems. Once they learn to use the telephone to call child protective services, then we will have bigger problems.
We are contemplating finishing off more of our basement to make a play room/dungeon. It will require getting a new furnace, which may make this project only a pipe dream. Oh well, every bad idea usually starts with a vision and dream.
This weekend may require putting together one more crib. One of the cribs we bought had a busted foot and wrecked railing, so we get to go to babies r us this week to get a new one! Yay, putting together a crib is a day well spent! Almost as fun as shopping our auto insurance (another project).
Alright, time to sleep. Go Pack

You don't realize just how easy you had it, until your babies start walking. Soon after walking comes the climbing and scaling of objects and it takes EVERYTHING you have to figure out how to keep them safe.
Our 14-month old climbed on top of our "bar height" table this past weekend. One minute he's toddling on the ground, the next minute he's sitting perched on top of a table 4-feet up and eyeing our steak knives on the adjacent counter.
I've always thought velcro suits would be a great invention. Who needs to baby proof when you can stick your child to a wall? And seriously, wouldn't that be fun for them, too?!
