The Woodchuck Saga continues...

So if you remember, a couple months ago I posted pictures of Olivia's front crib railing where she had gnawed on it. Well, little did I know, she has since moved on to the side railing and must have been working on it for quite some time because there is a TON of damage to it. The Nanny actually saved a chunk of wood for me to look at when I got home from work the other night; apparently she found Olivia chewing on this huge piece after her nap one day and fished it out of her mouth. She could have choked on this! Ugh. And every time I get her out of her crib she has dark brown coloring around her mouth (lovely mouth full of crib paint/stain which I'm fairly sure is NOT recommended by the APA as part of a toddlers daily nutritional intake), and splinters of wood in her mouth. What am I going to do with this kid!??

Daddy's solution? A towel wrapped and fastened to the railing with industrial zip ties, pictured below. We'll see how long it takes her to gnaw through one of those babies. Shheeeesh.



My Little Walker!

Look at my little walker!

And this is what she's been doing for the last several weeks, a goofy pre-walk walk.

We're still a bit unsturdy...

And Liv observes her sister very carefully, she'll be soon to follow.

A couple random ones from last night.

They love their name puzzles.

"Here, Mama!"
