Little Monkey

Though I have long called William "monkey", now that he is climbing everywhere the name is even more appropriate. We lost the final safe places-the table and countertops-this week when he learned how to push a footstool to the counter and climb up. Likewise, the dining room chairs and table. Now whenever I turn my back I return to find him on the back of the sofa or the arms of a chair. He particularly likes climbing up to stand on the back of his riding toys!

He also seems to have learned how to take off his diaper. Thankfully, he's only done it a couple of times and each time the diaper was dry. Today I ran upstairs to grab a clean T-shirt for him. When I came back down his diaper was off and he had his blankie over his head. Arms outstretched he was making his way around the room laughing. Even tripping over a few toys didn't deter him! He repeated the game for Taylor later in the evening. I think it's one of the few times I've actually heard Taylor chuckle.
