warning: will climb anything

so, it looks like we gave birth to a climber (and a percher, see above). she will attempt to climb anything...chairs, stairs, couches, beds, cupboards, walls...you name it. the other day, she was in our bedroom when zero stepped out for a matter of seconds and came back to the picture below. she had climbed the bed, grabbed mom's book of the bedside table and sat down next to harley to give her some pets and do a little light reading. how cute is that?!
so yes, she spends much time now toddling off to our bedroom, and then you hear, "grunt, grunt, grunt" as she climbs up onto the bed. and so far, only one spill. but yikes, my heart does race as i flutter around behind her, arms outstretched, in fear that she might fall. i try to keep smiling because i don't want her to be fearful, but i can't help but cringe sometimes as i watch her grunting her way to the top of the bed. our bed is pretty high, i mean, it would be like you and i climbing something that came up to our necks. not easy!

she also has a toddler chair that her friend Barbara made for her (along with her daughter Katherine) which molly loves to climb, or at least attempt to climb. she hasn't quite gotten the hang of it yet. but with our assistance she gets up to the top and sits back with a look of triumph.

our little climber! we've got some fun times (and possibly some big bruises) ahead!
