The kids are going through such major changes; they keep mom and dad on their toes. We are having to baby proof the place since Chelsea is crawling all over. It is anyone's guess when Colman will crawl, but that is ok. Having one kid to chase is good enough for now.We have bought a giant playyard fence to keep them enclosed. Chelsea is not a big fan, but she will play contentedly in little spurts. Colman is ok, so long as he has a toy within his grasp or he is in the exersaucer. Chelsea will pull up on it and they will play with the same toys. When Chelsea wants to get out, she pulls herself up at the gate, stands there and cries. We have another gate at the kitchen/foyer entry which Chelsea enjoys pulling up on.
Colman is also probably around 20 lbs, so we have moved the kids into converter car seats. So long Graco Snug Ride and Double Snap'n'Go. They have served us well. After a lot of research, we got the Joovy Groove Double Umbrella stroller in lime green. However, since it is an umbrella stroller, we feel it may not have the stamina for walking around the neighborhood or the park, so we are looking into a double jogger stroller. We are leaning toward the Tike Tech Trax360. Any input would be appreciated.
We are also starting other baby proofing around the house. Electric outlet covers, stairway gates, cabinet locks, baby straight jackets. The list goes on.

I wish you guys lived closer. We'd loan you or give you our double jogging stroller. I don't know if we'll ever use it again, but I'm not ready to get rid of it yet because it was pricy! My advice on strollers: get something that is easy to push, comfy for the kids, and big enough that they can grow into it (picture a couple of 3-year-olds riding in it). The only double stroller I've found on the market that matches that description perfectly is the BOB stroller, but you have to take out a mortgage on the house to buy it. We ended up with an In Step Safari TT. It's easy to push and has other nice features, but the kids outgrew it way too fast.
