Since Joel is very active and very persistent in things that he wants to accomplish, this is how he surprised us last month, climbing this box, we wanted to have them as a barrier but they don't work anymore, we re-arranged our living room, but still he finds a way to climb around things. One day he went into the dining room, saw a chair perfectly set up for him that he climbed it and we found him on the table standing up....our heart almost stopped! Now we try to keep all the chairs and even his high chair in a way that he can't climb them. He is trying to do the same thing with boxes around and everything that can look like a step, it's hard for us some times, we have to keep an eye very close to him all the time because if we lose him for a minute, it could mean trouble. I knew that could happen but I was thinking it would be when he was eighteen months, so I wasn't worried about it, but now we are, because he's mastering this skill every day.
In this picture he threw a little green car over the black box (the best excuse) he started climbing obviously I had to get it because we don't want more trouble, but he kept throwing it again, silly boy.
and here I had to catch him because even though he could probably get down safely, we don't want any chance of him getting hurt. (that's why the pic is a little -blurry)
Joel always surprises us in different ways, so we need to be careful of what we left out of place because he can use everything he can, like you will see in this picture, the night before this picture, we went to Sam's club to get some more diapers for him and the new baby (no name yet =( , feel bad) and because when we came back it was time for his 3 B's we just let the boxes sit by the counter, so here is what I caught him doing when I was fixing breakfast for us. I was by the stove when I started seeing a little head coming up the counter, and there he was feeling taller.
Here is something that he likes to do after he wakes up, goes to our bedroom to find daddy to play with him while he is on bed. As I see him trying to climb everything every where even us, I think he will be excited to do rappelling or rock climbing when he is old enough to do it.
Other new adventure, not that we are proud but just saying that we have to keep a close eye on him because we never know what is crossing his mind.
Haven't mentioned, but officially Joel was moved to the other bedroom, and it has been a week now, and he's doing pretty well probably because he has his crib, Bud and Curious George and all his toys close to him, the only thing different is the bedroom but it didn't seem to be bother that much.
