Um, I'm pretty sure Dexter and Wylie are related!!!??
When Wylie was 10mths old (yes, only TEN mths), he ATE through a baby gate, like the ones w/ those white plastic wirings....just ate right on through it. Wylie is against barriers, clearly

. We now use little barriers to fence off part of the house and luckily, Wylie has stopped eating barriers for years now.
