He LOVES to climb on ANYTHING and EVERYTHING. Every time we turn around he is climbing on something else. At 10 months old he was scaling the gate by the stairs and we had to go out and buy a brand new one that was "climb proof". Here's some past proof of his climbing abilities...
So, anyway, last night I put him into his crib, gave him a kiss, tucked him in and told him goodnight. I shut his door, went down the hallway and started going down the stairs when I hear this LOUD thump and Aiden crying. I run back up the stairs and Bryan and I both race to his room. He is on the floor crying. He has now officially learned how to climb out of his crib - let the fun begin! YIKES! I knew this day was coming (and am actually surprised it took this long) but I was NOT looking forward to this. Gone are the days of putting him in his crib and knowing that he will stay there. Gone are the days of being able to leave the gate by the stairs open at night so the dog can go downstairs and get his water. Gone are the days of putting him to bed and being able to get things done because you know he will stay there. Oh dear, and so a new chapter of our lives begin.
Speaking of cribs, here's a cute pic from two weeks ago when he was taking a nap (notice his feet sticking out of the crib - by the way, the bumper got removed last night, although we found that it really didn't matter because he lifts his leg up over the top and pulls himself up)...

You can purchase this item called a crib tent, that basically puts a netting over the crib and they cannot climb out... kind of pricey, I believe around $75 or so but may be worth it for sanity sake!!
Otherwise, the fun is just beginning! :-)
Kids!!! Looks like the good lord has blessed you with a challange!! Are you smarter than a one and a half year old? Love you all!!! DAD V
