The gate at the bottom of the stairs is no more. It never fit quite right, but with Jim's ingenuity, he was able to make it work. However, it's been in the process of breaking for weeks and yesterday, it finally had enough and Jim took it down. While Finn isn't quite an expert on stairs yet, I'm very confident that he won't go up or down the stairs without somebody watching him (he always waits for one of us to come over), but if he does, I feel pretty good that he can make it up or down without falling...as long as he doesn't dink around and play as he is going up or down! It is so nice and open without the darn gate.
I tried something new last night: I didn't swaddle Korri at bedtime. I figured I had to try something and she has this really warm sleeper, so I knew she'd be warm enough. I had the idea because every time I go into her at night when she is crying, she is struggling like crazy to get out of the swaddle. I don't know if it "worked" or not, but she went three hours between two feedings (and we battled between the other one...she, of course, won!). I read an article that said you can't/shouldn't "sleep train" a baby until they are at least three months old. Forty four days and counting...
