p's tall so he's been able to reach a door handle for a while now but up until recently he hasn't really been interested in them. the past two weeks or so he's constantly opening cabinet doors (we're renting so we havent baby proofed them) and then this morning he touched a hot pan on the stove...we're in trouble! it's probably only a matter of time before he realizes the doors are fun to open

Oh crap about 8 months I believe. His crib was also by the door. Between that and the light we had to move his crib.
Everytime we went in/out we practiced opening/ closing doors.
This since about 10 or 11 months when she was climbing on things she could reach the doors and turn the knob. But we have door locks on all the doors except the bathroom so Aiden can go potty on his own.

Lucian can reach doorknobs, but he hasn't figured them out yet. I'm sure it'll only be another month or better before he turns one and we have to babyproof them. He already opens every cabinet he can touch.
BTW, the plastic links that come with a lot of baby toys are GREAT for keeping cabinet doors closed! The knobs on the lower cabinets in our house are close together so we only need one link per two knobs.

Yeah, he has been able to for a while now. We have those doorknob covers and a foam wedge thing that we put on the door to stop it from closing on his hand.
Some of our doors fit the doorways poorly and she can often open those from the bottom. There is a closet door next to her crib and if the door isn't closed really well she can open it. I don't think she's managed to turn the knob yet though. She also hasn't taken an interest in the other knobs just yet. I really hope I didn't just jinx this. I'm fine with her ignoring door knobs for a good long while.
Re: Can lo open the door?
I don't think I've ever let her touch a door handle, come to think of it.
Jay can reach all the door knobs in our house. But the only one he has opened so far was his bedrooms.
How long has he been able to do it?
