The newest favorite thing to do is climb up on EVERYTHING! Jansen uses the kitchen chairs as a jungle gym right now! Anything is fair game if it can be climbed upon right now! I have found him standing on the kitchen table in a matter of seconds already! AAAHHHH!!! We now have to toddler proof all counter tops, cabinets, and table tops! I didn't realize this was coming so soon! The hardest part now is that he wants to come up and "help" me cook and I'm afraid he's going to grab something hot pretty soon! I've been eagle eyeing it so far, but he's so fast that it's scary! Today a kid in WalMart (probably about 10 or 11) watched as Jansen climbed from the "basket" part of the cart, over the back of the seat part, and leaped into my arms at the handle part all in the matter of about 3 seconds. The kid said (with eyes bugging out at Jansens), "Holy cow that baby can climb!" It was pretty amazing and even I was a bit shocked by his speed given the obstacle! He also likes to drag the chair to the kitchen window and watch the dogs playing in the back yard! That one is really cute and I promise a pic soon of that! Here's just a couple of the newest adventure!
(Actually when I first saw him he was totally oblivious to the fact that I was watching him. He started to step down when he heard the camera come on. He WAS standing full up on his scooter and trying to step up on the handle bars when I turned on the darn camera. Next step after this was that he brought over his push toy and tried to put a foot on/in each to see if that worked better. It didn't, by the way.) (Sorry about the mess. This is the catch all area with the old computers. Since they don't work it seems that the junk piles up over there and it doesn't help that Jansen has designated the floor area as his "kitchen" toy spot which includes old paper bags!)
This is how we look at the end of a long day of climbing! Can you say BEDTIME!?!?

Cousin Mel says he's just like Ethan when he was little. Papa used to lay on the couch and Ethan would spend all day "climbing Papa's mountain" i.e. his big old Santa belly. Thank goodness you were paying attention in the grocery store and he didn't face-plant on the linoleum!!
