This was a day to remember in history for a couple of reasons.

First ... This was the 10 year anniversary of 9/11.

Second ... This was the day that Ryland fell out of his crib!

He has been attempting to climb out of his crib for a few weeks now. He learned that he could put his leg up on the railing and pull himself up. We have caught him in the act a few times right before he went over the edge. We have been closely watching him on the monitor and running in there right before he goes all the way.

On the morning of 9/11 we went out to Douglasville to pick up Ryland. He spent the night with CC and Pops since we went to the UGA/South Carolina football game the day before. Ryland ended up falling asleep on the ride back home. Tab and Ryland dropped me off at the car rental place to pick up a rental car for a work trip. Tab took Ryland back home and transferred him to his crib. When I walked in the door from picking up the rental car Tab met me there and said ... "It happened!". At first I had no idea what "happened". And then I saw Ryland in the living room (when he was suppose to be taking his nap). And Tab told me that he was awake because he fell out of his crib! Tab was downstairs with the monitor and had no idea that Ryland was awake because he was being so quiet. And then he heard a big "bump" and a huge cry. Falling out definitely scared Ryland.

He has not tried to climb out since that day. Lets hope it stays that way because he is not ready to move to a big boy bed! He loves his crib and propping his legs up on the slats way too much!!
