This video was taken approximately 12 hours after Jesse first escaped from the crib. In the morning, I had placed him in the crib while I showered. When I came in to get him dressed, he was standing on the floor, holding up whatever toy he had pined for from behind the bars. I dumped him back in, then watched as he made his way out

That night, when getting him ready for bed, I placed him in the crib, wondering what he’d do. I didn’t have the phone ready, so I placed him back inside after he scrambled out.

Way to stick the landing, kid.

Before Jesse went to school and I went to work, we bundled up for a trip outside to see the snow.

He was pretty annoyed at the start, I think.

Those snow pants and that parka came from the Spring-Mar Cooperative Preschool sale this fall, only $10!

Jesse was intrigued, and now refers to the snow he see on the ground as “playdough.”

With his visit to the new vegan restaurant in Falls Church, Jesse is one up on his dad.

Jesse got his first ear infection, and when not zonked out from the fever, he was pretty cheerful

Jesse’s got a new wetsuit, which should help with the chill at the pool. On a previous visit, we even tried a hoodie to keep him warm.
