Little Climber

Diego has recently begun climbing on EVERYTHING! He started with the couch, which completely freaked Eddie and I out at first and we insisted on sitting right next to him each time he climbed up there...until we realized he can safely get back off the couch without help. So, now we're not quite as paranoid. Now he can also climb up onto the dining room chairs, and as I watched him a few days ago, he climbed right on to the table after Daddy's cell phone. At first I wasn't sure if I should let him climb on these chairs or not, but then decided its not such a big deal. So, Rachel suggested just turning the chairs around so he could still get up on them, just not onto the table, and that is working, so far.

Diego is very tall for his age, so he can also reach up to the counters and pull things off which means I have to keep them cleared at all times! He has also recently figured out he can get in the coat closet and shut himself in. He will stay in there for about 30 seconds and then sort of whine to come out, but now he just lets himself out. It took him a few days to figure out he could actually open the door from the inside too!
