Our Climber

Elliott is an agile little boy.  He is constantly climbing on anything and everything.  He can climb on to regular chairs, couches, and of course his helper stool.  For a weeks, he has been climbing on to the arm chair in the corner of the dining room so he can turn the lights on and off.  Starting this week, he has figured out how to make it on to the counter-height chairs in the kitchen (we're scared now).  When he was resisting his nap yesterday, Jesse went in to find Elliott with one foot up on the crib rail.  Let's hope we have some time before he makes it out of the crib.

New target: my fancy new desk chair (Christmas present from my wonderful husband)

Step 1: grab on and hang on for dear life



Step 2: attempt to heave body on to chair


Step 3: fall down and try again


Step 4: heave left leg on to chair


Step 5: kneel and get excited


Step 5: take in the new view


Step 6: stand up, smile in delight, and give Mama a heart attack


Since the walls are going up quickly, more drywall was needed.  As part of the laborious effort of moving it upstairs, the stack first sits inside the front door.  Jesse propped Elliott up there to look outside. Now we can tell him he sat on top of the walls.


No chance he'd sit still


Spotted: light switches!!


Oohhhh!
