He was a small baby too, not tall, nor did he have long legs.

The only way to keep him in the crib was if he was asleep when he got there, so we rocked him to sleep every night. He never climbed out in the mornings ... he would just practice his "singing and talking" until someone came to get him. He was a funny little guy, and now he's a 42 year old military officer who still makes his mom laugh!
