Trapped and tortured

Now that Ryleigh is so mobile, I had to invest in a gate. I put it up at the end of the hallway, so during the day she can still crawl from the office, to her room, and up and down the hallway. At night, she is stuck out in the living area where Jesse and I can keep an eye on her!

Naturally, this new barrier has been quite the annoyance for Ryleigh, as it inhibits her new-found freedom.

I guess to prove how bad she thought it was, she decided to stick her tongue out at me! The torture-part comes when Jersey is on one side of the gate and Ryleigh is on the other. These two love to "play" together-- Ryleigh climbing all over Jersey, and Jersey licking Ryleigh to death. So to have a wall between them is just plain frustrating.
Yet, they still find a way...

Hey, a mom's gotta do what a mom's got to do, right?
