And Up We Go

My little 13-month-old is all kinds of fun these days! He's active and playful and silly and just as sweet as he can be. And, while he isn't walking just yet on his own, he is learning how to climb. (Uh oh!) We have a ledge in front of our fireplace, and everyone asks me if Cooper likes to crawl up there. Well, up until last week, my answer (while chuckling) was, "Oh, Cooper can't climb up there." Ha ha ha...guess again.

First thing one morning, he tried and tried to get on that ledge.

"Hmm...ok, I'll try again later."

Later that day...

Did it!

It just was a matter of hours before he took his first tumble off that ledge, and it was just a matter of minutes after that that I blocked the ledge with boxes. I have a feeling those boxes will need to stay in place for awhile...until the climbing phase is over. When does that happen...maybe when he's 18 years old?!

PS: It was really chilly that morning, so we had to wear our Santa slippers! HO HO HO!
