Our Climber

We have a climber in our house - a very short and very cute climbing machine.


Her name is Megan and she is almost 18 months old.  She is by far the most climbing child of all my children.  And she is persistent too.


Megan smiles for the camera after successfully getting on the box.


This position is funny because Megan climbs up, and then gets scared and goes back to the box.  And then collects her courage and climbs up again, and then down again.  It was funny to watch.


Finally tumbling headfirst into the crib.  At least that is a soft landing.  You cannot tell, but she was smiling for this picture.  She was quite pleased with herself.


The computer desk is another great spot to climb.  She gets on the chair and climbs all the way up.  Our heater control is up on the wall, so Megan climbs up and pushes the lever up and down.  The poor heater doesn't know if it should be doing fifty or ninety.

There are other spots that Megan likes to climb, but I don't take pictures of them because I am quickly trying to pull her down.  For example, Megan enjoys getting on the kitchen table, laying down on it, and then spinning while saying 'Whee'.  It would be really cute and funny if it didn't make me so nervous.  We have now placed all our chairs sideways and moved them away from table.


But then Megan gives me a cute smile (after stealing some lipstick) and all is forgiven.  Hopefully we can get through this stage without a concussion.

What a cute little mischievous girly! Gideon is just figuring out he can climb up onto the couch.
