Lil' Monkey

JW is quite the little monkey these days. He has taken to climbing EVERYTHING in our house. Just this morning hubby & I were in the kitchen cheffin' up a big breakfast and I go in the living room to check on JW, and he is sitting on top of the sofa table! Guess he climbed onto the couch and then over the back and onto the table - he was quite proud of himself - just beaming. Last week he climbed into a chair in the living room and then up onto a pretty tall round decorator table. He just pushed off all the picture frames on it to make room for himself and sat up there clapping his hands, all happy for himself.
Any time the baby gate at the bottom of the stairs is accidentally left down he somehow senses it and heads straight for the stairs & will start to climbing. (I think he secretly checks everytime he walks by to see if it's down.) As soon as I hear him, and run to get him he starts squealing and tries to climb even faster so I can't catch him - little toot! The photos at the top are of him climbing our step ladder while we were moving some furniture around a couple of weeks ago. He saw the ladder and instantly was drawn to it and had made it to the top in no time - hand clapping and laughing the whole time too!
