Eating cat food

Thursday Jude discovered the cat food bowls and yesterday he discovered he liked the taste of cat food! When I found him at the bowls eating the cat food again, we decided that we had to do something. So up went another baby gate. This gate keeps Jude in the living room area and out of the kitchen and hallway where the cat dishes are kept.

The only problem with this gate is that Julia's room in on one side and the bathrooms are on the other! We just have to make sure to keep it open at night and when Jude is not playing on the floor.

Jude is trying to figure out why there is suddenly a gate blocking his path.


For awhile he thought it was pretty funny.


Then he started to realize that we could get on the other side, but he could not.


After about 10 minutes he was screaming mad that I was in Julia's room with her (putting her to bed for the night) and that he could not get to us!

Excuse the diaper and socks only look. We are trying to get Jude to crawl on all fours instead of army crawling. Stripping Julia down to her diaper is what finally worked on her, so we were trying the same thing on Jude. We are hoping the friction on his belly will be enough to make him crawl "normally".
