Welcome to the Danger Zone.

For the first year and a half of Jackson's life we lived in a one bedroom apartment. The livingroom probably had about twenty square feet of empty floor space and that was pretty much all Jackson had to play in. He crawled kind of late and never really climbed up on things. Now he runs, jumps and tumbles all over everything. Jackson also never had an older sibling to encourage him to crawl and keep up with. Brady is a different story. Our living room is long and we have a fairly sizable dining room and kitchen. Brady started rolling, army scooting, and full out crawling months before Jackson. I think this can mostly be attributed to the extra space to explore and his obsession with being everywhere Jackson is. Combine that with the fact that he eats everything he can put in his mouth (food or not) and that he has just started pulling himself up on things, and he is pretty much a one baby wrecking machine. The pulling up on furniture has been the most stressful lately because although he can pull himself up, he can't gently let himself back down and he ends up just flopping on the hard wood floor. Lots of bumps and bruises on this kid. Thank goodness he is built like a tank.

The Danger Zone:

Notice all the pointy edges and hard surfaces??? Also notice the spit up on the floor in the bottom left hand corner? Stress.
