16 months - monkey

everyday we find baby climbing to ever greater heights, literally ... she's discovered that the higher she climbs the more stuff she can reach, so now she's climbing chairs (she conquers the dining table chairs, sofa and piano stool easily) and then some (tv ledge, my bedroom dresser ledge (see below) and of course the dining table. sigh.

we brought her to the botanic gardens today and she got herself onto the ledge of a little water feature (with fish!) and started playing with the water. my oh my.

i think she has a sense of danger so she doesn't do crazy things like jump off the dining chair etc, but i still worry that she loses her footing one day and lands up like humpty dumpty!

oh and she can climb up and down stairs without holding onto anything ... i don't think babies are supposed to do that until much later!!!
