As I lay in bed one night looking at the video monitor.... I see Nicholas sit up for the first time in his crib ..... then I see him pull himself up to stand ...... then I watch in complete surprise as he begins to chew on the side rail of his crib like it was a cob of corn!!!! Seriously - he took his two bottom teeth and just started chewing in a straight line. I could even hear it on the monitor. I ran in the room and told him 'no' and laid him back down in the crib. This of course is a waste of time now since he can sit up and stand up!! I scoured the web the next day to find something to cover the railings so he couldn't chew them anymore. I didn't like the idea of using a plastic covering because I didn't want him chewing on that either. So I ordered nice, thick, flannel covers for the railings. But being the cheapo I am I refused to pay for overnight shipping if I could get them in 5 days for free. So I was racking my mommy brain all day at work and came up with a temporary solution :) I pulled out all his receiving blankets and wrapped the railings myself. I am quite proud of my ingenuity and good use of blankets we haven't needed in months.
Here's a picture of my great work! And I am proud to say Nicholas has not taken another chunk out of the crib.... that is until he figures out how to eat the bars :(
