Baby’s first crawl is a joyous milestone celebrated by all. But it sure puts your babyproofing skills to the test!

Fortunately, if your tot is ready to stretch his mini legs, Munchkin has got you — and your house — covered with their well-made (and stylish!) baby gates.

From the chic Deco Wood Gate ($65), which has a triple lock and a door that swings out both ways, to the Extender ($50), which fits in any space and is easy-to-store, they’re super functional.

Got your hands full? The Auto Close Gate ($60) features gravity-fed hinges that close and lock automatically when a parent lets go of the handle.

For more product information, go to Infantgates.com.

Jim Carrey Calls Grandson ‘Just Magical’


Fame

It’s been a year of ups and downs for Jim Carrey, but the star of I Love You Phillip Morris says he’s still riding at least one high.

“[I] love being granddaddy, granddaddy Jim,” he raves to Access Hollywood.

All the same, it’s a title that took some getting used to! “It’s very odd,” Carrey, 48, confesses. “It’s not something I expected at this age to be.”

Once 8-month-old grandson Jackson Riley arrived in February, however, whatever qualms Carrey had been feeling quickly disappeared.

Describing his daughter Jane‘s son as “just magical,” Carrey says, “I just get a lot of joy … a lot of joy from that little boy.”

Thanks for welcoming our newest celebrity blogger — Pat Monahan!

The Train frontman is dad to two teens — Patrick, 17, and Emelia, 13 — as well as Autumn, his 2-year-old daughter with wife Amber.

In addition to Train — whose latest album Save Me, San Francisco has spawned the hit singles “Hey, Soul Sister,” “If It’s Love” and “Marry Me” — Monahan also voices the lead character on Sprout’s Driver Dan’s Story Train.

In his latest blog, Monahan, 41, discusses the tradeoffs that come with being a dad on the road — and why if you bring your children to a Train show, they may just end up on stage!

Pediped Debuts Grip ‘n Go Collection — For Toddlers!

For so long, toddlers got the short end of the stick when it came to high-tech walking shoes.

Well all that’s about to change with pediped‘s recently launched Grip ‘n’ Go™ line.

Perfect for toddlers transitioning from their first steps to expert walking, each style has all the benefits of pediped’s Originals footwear, but with thin, flexible rubber soles.

The rounded edges resemble the shape of a child’s foot and allows mini walkers to feel and grip the floor.

Highlights of the collection ($44 to $48) include the Ellie and Jamie, which like the rest of the line are available for children 9 mos. to 3Y.

Shop more styles at Pediped.com.

It’s time to redecorate: Design Star judge Vern Yip and his partner are expecting their second child, they tell PEOPLE exclusively.

“It’s really exciting, we’re thrilled,” Yip, 42, says. “We’re due the very first week of March.”

Though Yip and his partner — who are again using a surrogate, as they did with son Gavin Joshua Mannox, 10 months — know the sex of baby-to-be, they’re not sharing just yet.

But Yip does say he’s looking forward to having two children under the age of 2 running around at home.

Jenna Jameson Hopes Sons Won’t Question Her Past

Patrick Demarchelier

For Jenna Jameson, actions speak much louder than words.

When the former porn star welcomed now 20-month-old fraternal twin sons Jesse Jameson (left) and Journey Jette (right) with Ultimate Fighting Championship star Tito Ortiz, the new mom put her past behind her — and hasn’t looked back since.

“I really don’t think I need to say, ‘Mommy was a porn star,’” Jameson, 36, reveals in December’s W magazine.

“I feel like they’re going to know me and think, ‘Mommy loved us so much that she quit everything and made us her job.’”
