The Climber

If there is one thing that has become apparent over the last few months with Andrew it would be that he loves to climb.  On everything.

If there is something that he can get his little leg up on he will climb it.  The couch is easy peasy nowadays. He gets up on it in two seconds flat (and of course hops back down just as fast).  We made the mistake of buying him this little yellow stool at IKEA a few weeks ago and now it's one of his favorite things to climb on:



(Yes, I grabbed him down as soon as I took the pictures - I don't need him busting his head open!)

Outside he likes to crawl up on the chairs on the deck and the bench:



Pretty much anything he can get on top of is fair game.


I can only imagine that in the near future he is going to try to climb on Baxter (yellow lab in the background) and go for a ride.  Maybe we should buy a saddle?  :)

So yeah, this kid is a climber - and possibly a little daredevil.  I'm keeping my fingers crossed that we don't have any ER visits in store in the near future.  Oh, and I'm hiding that stool.

    1. I think you're right. I asked my mom (who spends a lot of time with my nieces) if they were anywhere near as rambunctious as he is and she said it's no contest. They are calm compared to him :)

  3. Oh man, it's totally a boy thing. My niece does none of this. Gabriel, on the other hand, swings that leg up on anything he can (lately he's obsessed with climbing on the coffee table). Unfortunately for him, he's still mastering getting down. Ha!

    1. Glad to know we're not the only ones! Andrew is pretty good about getting down off of things, but he does still take a tumble occasionally. I envision many bumps and bruises in our future.
