Baby proofing, we don't need no stinkin' baby proofing!

Well, maybe we do. Ryan is into everything right now. He crawls everywhere and pulls himself to standing. No attempts at walking yet, which is just fine with us. The helmet has come in handy in protecting his noggin against major spills. Undoubtedly, there will be an adjustment period with some natural consequences when the helmet comes off. No idea when that will be. We keep hoping it will be around his birthday. It all depends on how fast his head grows.

We're in a holiday frenzy here. On Tuesday, we are leaving to drive to Crestline to spend Christmas with Diane's family. Baby's first road trip! Wish us luck!
