Crib Climbers

It has been a traumatic week as we've come to the knowledge that Zion is no longer a crib baby. Anjuli has already show us her abilities as seen below (this was taken in the middle of the night) but Zion threw us for a loop.

We thought maybe Zion was able to get out of his crib because of the little grooves in the slats. So...Zui spent quite a while in switching Zion and Izaiah's cribs--lowering Zeya's and raising Zion's. When Zui finished he said, "Ha! Let's see you get out of this one ZyZy." With one graceful swoop Zion hoisted his leg onto the top of the crib and .2 seconds later he was over the edge. Then he gave us that grin that said, "Ha! I'll show you, Daddy!" He was so proud of himself. We just sat back, awestruck, not knowing what to do next.


He then showed us how he could climb back into the crib with ease...

So now we have graduated from 2 cribs and a toddler bed in one room to 2 toddler beds in a room plus one crib in OUR room (no fun at all). When we discovered how much we didn't like sleeping with a baby, we added a portacrib to our living room where Zeya sleeps at night. Hopefully we will get into a house SOON!!!
