Little Climber (and a Walker!)

Ah, my favorite age....



Climbing toddler + dining room chairs + table = exhausting combination.


It could be worse.  It could be 2 climbing toddlers.  I just have to keep reminding myself that one little Mary is a breeze compared to Tessa and Annie at the same age!  (Megan and Bridget never even thought about climbing up on the table!)





And, Mary might just be walking (sshhh!).  I made the mistake of loudly announcing Mary's first steps while I was playing with her by myself upstairs.  She just ever so casually got off the rocking chair she'd been climbing on, and walked over to me.  It was three steps.

"Girls!  Matt!!  Come in here!!  Mary just walked!"

But, then I had to correct myself when all four girls  ran into the room, so sad that they missed it.

"Did she really walk, Mommy???  Not without us seeing it!!  Mary!!"

No. No, she didn't walk at all....I must have imagined that.

She then had a full audience as she tried again.  What a ham!!  No walking for the crowd yet.  Just a lot of squatting and standing over and over again.  But we'll put it on record that she officially walked at 14.5 months :)
