Climbing Monkey!

Bennett has turned in to quite the daredevil now that he has mastered the art of standing on his own! He wants to use just about everything to steady himself, from our legs, to the coffee table, to chairs with wheels (eek!). My favorite was when he tried to stand up using our dog's kennel. He got so excited when he made it to a standing position that he started tapping his foot. One thing led to another and that adorable tapping foot got caught in the kennel! He tried to tap it and up he went! He had a look of pure joy and pride on his face at first, but it faded in about 1.6 seconds and was replaced with FEAR! I mean white knuckles, looking death in the face kind of fear! He was holding on for dear life. I rescued him assuming he had learned his lesson: heights = scary.

Not so.

Every chance he gets he is climbing right up that kennel only to completely FREAK OUT when he reaches the top. Lots of rescues later, I am realizing he can hold on at least long enough for me to snap some pictures... (he hasn't fallen off yet, in case you were wondering!)




The second to last photo here is my favorite. He is starting to realize that he has left the ground! Haha!


The next post will include pictures from our Spring Break Week-o-FUN! (zoo, children's museum, cleaning! awesome!)
