I did the same thing, Kimmo, lol. I had given all my newborn clothes to my sister and had to ask for a couple things back when she was done with them.

Kimmo, Here's a few I found, I went to "Ask Jeeves" and asked "doll clothes patterns for 14" dolls".

Zmom, the eyes freak me out too... ever since I saw some scary doll movie at a slumber party when I was 12 - didn't help that the girl's mom was a doll collector!

Kimmo, you might want to check your classifieds for people that make doll clothes. My niece has an American Girl doll, but no way I will spend that kind of money! I happened to find a gal at a church craft show that makes clothes for them. Another idea would be to find a consignment shop that sells baby clothes.

I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this question but......

I have a 12 year old nephew and my sister is considering buying him a video game. Does anyone know of a site that previews these games for "content"?

Thanks for the neat links, Jmm! The Waldorf doll clothes look closest to Audrey's weird body type.

Carrie, I was thinking of looking for church bazaars and other places where you can get "homemade" doll clothes...That is where we normally got our doll clothes growing up, and I loved them! I just want to get a couple of outfits so Rowan can put the jammies on and get used to manipulating clothing.

Zachsmom, I guess the bodiless eyes are a little freaky-- I don't think I'd take my 2-year old along to a doll show, in that case. :-)

Hi all, I have to tell you the latest excitement in our house this past week. Nate is 20 months old now, 35" tall and very curious. He climbed out of his crib twice now... falling to the ground both times... I have a single bed for him but know he'll never stay in there so put a mattress under his crib so if he tries again, he won't get hurt. I'm trying to teach him to stay in there because it hurts if he climbs out. If he does it one more time I'm going to leave the gate down so he can get out safely. Has any of your little ones started doing this???

Also, his nanny was getting his stroller out of the garage the other day and Nate somehow managed to lock the door of the house, locking her out and himself in - all alone!!! I came 5 minutes later to pick him up and found the nanny crying at the door trying to get in and the neighbours trying to find a key. I called the police who came immediately, and said they'd break down the door, but the family who live there (we share the nanny) are on vacation for a month and it was Easter weekend, so we opted to get a locksmith over. They finally came with a key and got him out. I could see him 98% of the time so I knew he was safe. He was having a blast trashing the house. He took a plant, killed it, then spread tiny rocks all over the house. He'd come to the door, look out at us holding the plant roots in his hand and laughing like crazy!!! What a boy, I tell ya! I've never been so happy in my life to pick him up!!!

And one last thing - Baby # 2 is due on Nov.18th!!! Very exciting I must say. I'm 10 weeks pregnant and feeling very good. First u/s in 3 weeks. :-)

Enbwife On thing we discovered when our son first learned to climb out of his crib was to move the mattress UP. It seems he had devised exactly how to stand and get his leg up on the bar and wiggle himself over it. Once we moved the mattress up, it somehow seemed to confuse him and he wasn't able to get out for a while. He did eventually figure it out but it gave us a little more time before moving him to a regular bed.

And congratulations to you, Neil & Nate. I'm sure you're all excited (ok, Nate may not know it yet. lol) about the news.

Yea for Enbwife and Admin!!! Congrats to the both of you. For some reason I just knew when I saw your name you would have some special news.

I am 25 weeks and counting.

How scary and funny at the same time! I am glad you were able to see him through the window..I would have been frantic and just broken the window and replaced it immediately. Sounds like he was having fun though.

I would take the guard rails down! That's about the age Zachary started climbing out (actually he was 15 months), so pillow's galore on the floor and guard rails down.

I tried a toddler bed with him, but he was happy and attached to his crib. I think he was 4 when he finally went into the big bed.

Congrats on Baby #2! Now we know where Admin has been

Congratulations on the new baby, that's so exciting! :-)

If Nate is going to try and get out of the crib regardless, I would move to a toddler bed. He will still fall out of the bed, but he already knows that it hurts to fall-- Maybe he is just more motivated by the freedom.

There were a couple times that Rowan would not "let me" get him into his crib and I just stayed in there with him until he fell asleep on the floor. He might also have figured out that he was not getting more freedom by staying out of the crib, because it was still bedtime. If he got the freedom of a bed, maybe he would get bored with it and accept it as normal.

Maybe you could also put a gate up to his room when he goes to sleep, so that you know he stays in the room? Though he might be able to climb on that, too.

Congrats Lisa and Neil, such exciting news!

Lisa, I just wanted to add that my first 2 were 27 months apart, which sounds about like your 2 will be. It was and has been absolutely fab!! It was spaced just right for us. Only thing was when the second one was 18 mos old, my body (or mind) thought it was time to get pg again. ACK!!

So happy to hear the good news Lisa and Neil. My babies are 22 months apart. You will have your hands full, and wonder why you thought it was so hard with just one. But you will also love every minute of it. I am so happy for you.
