Our Climber

Jackson was never much of a climber. Even now he only climbs on appropriate things - jungle gyms, bouncy houses, ladders (sometimes inappropriate), and occasionally over the back of the sofa or chair (always inappropriate), but that's about it. Emme, on the other hand is our climber! She climbs the stairs constantly if I forget to draw the gate, she climbs on furniture, she climbs on toys, she climbs on toys to get on top of furniture. I guess it is no wonder that it took her less than a year to get a goose egg and Jackson went two and a half before he got one. The minute I hear her stir in her bed, I rush to get her. I am so afraid she is going to try & climb out! This girl has NO fear!

This is minor. Usually she is 3 stairs from the

top before I catch her.

She had knocked this toy over so that she could use it to

stand on while climbing to get a puzzle.

Climbing this toy to get on top of the ottomon.

Climbed up her chair to on top of her little play kitchen

so that she could get a toy out of the basket.

(And look what she has done to the blinds!)

We better step up our health insurance!
