A jungle gym or a jail...

but not a crib.

Since Audrey discovered the joys of standing in her crib, she no longer wants to sleep in it. I only wish I was kidding. She is just too curious for her own good. She just has to try standing one more time - no matter how tired she is.

When I put her down to sleep with a full belly and droopy eyes, I now find her standing up crying 5 minutes later because she can't get down or she throws the pacifier overboard or she can't hold herself up with one hand and she really wants to rub those poor tired eyes. So I'll go in and fix whatever ails her and then put her back down only to come to the same end.

The alternative is equally pathetic. She will sit facing out with her hands on the bars, trying to shake them to get our attention. It is as if she is literally trying to say, "let me out!"

I am hoping this phase comes quickly to an end - otherwise, she may be sleeping in her much-less-exciting - pack'n play very soon.
