The beginning of the end-for me...

I didn't think anything of it when Cade climbed in the crib the other day with Carson watching to retrieve a pacifier for his baby brother. I was too focused on making sure I explained to Cade why it wasn't okay for him to get inside the crib again because he was too big. It didn't dawn on me that it might give Carson something to try. After all, our crib is a tall crib and for the most part our other kids haven't tried to climb out.
 

 

Are you gonna stop me mom?
 

How about you dad?
 

Okay then. Out I go.
 

 

For the record I was secretly proud of him. I forget how strong his upper body is until he does something like this. He mostly used his arms to heave himself up when learning to climb things, broke the restraints as a week old baby at his circumcision so I should have expected he'd use them to get out of the crib too.

Wow...he's so young to be able to do that! Must be ready for his own weight bench.

Count your blessings! Kaden has been cage free since 12 months.
I love how he glanced at both of you before taking the final drop.

It is all over when they can get out of their crib by themselves. Good luck. He will be driving soon.
