This is why our dog hides:
ENGARDE!
It's just an empty wrapping paper tube but it had might as well be a fencing rapier... He's an energetic and curious little guy, but his easy-going temperment makes for a pretty happy Mom most days. He's a whiz at puzzles and still loves his trucks and trains. We haven't quite figured out the polarity thing with the trains that connect with magnets - I know he'll get it soon, though. He's been sleeping in his big boy room for about 2 weeks now, making room for baby #2 in the nursery. He adjusts to change well - we are very fortunate!Things from this year with a mobile little one:
Dog food crunches differently than Kix cereal.
Watch what you do. He will mimic even the things you regret!
Putting two words together is a big deal for an 18 month-old.
Do a "what baby can reach" check at least once a week, b/c 14" Ginsu knives make a great "shshshing" noise when they get pulled out of a kitchen drawer.
Even if your house is "proofed" for your baby, think creatively. His playdate buddies may find things like the heating vents to stuff video cassettes into ;)
Michelle W. is right. Boys need food, space, and plenty of activities!

What a fun little boy! Enjoy him while he's little! -Hansen
good to see you back again! I can really relate with all your comments about boys in the house. The good news is, I can now leave the two of them unsupervised for much longer periods of time. The screaming is loud enough to let me know when I really need to intervene from anywhere in the house... The bad news is only when there's extended silence...
