If I leave a chair up and walk away for even a minute, he is over there and climbing so he can do this. Once he is on the table he begins to swing the light...and to make sure I realize that he is making this, not only a physical activity, but also an educational one, he starts to say in a loud voice, "LIGHT, LIGHT, LIGHT!"
I must admit that it kind of makes me laugh to see him up there, but I realize how dangerous it can be so I say in my sternest "Mommy" voice, "No, we do not climb on the table." He doesn't listen too well since I find him doing it at any available moment, or his retention is pretty bad. :) (Actually it is probably that my retention is bad, since I forget to put the chair down.)His other climbing trick is this basket. It sits on our stairs and can be used to hold things until you are ready to take them upstairs. At this point he backs down the stairs, crawl/scooting one step at at time. One day, as he was scooting down, he discovered that he could get into this basket. I didn't see him do it, so I don't know how he actually got in, but he was loving it when I found him.
He has also begun to LOVE cars--anything with wheels. He loves to "zoom" them around (making car sounds), he loves to spin the the wheels on the cars, his stroller, and if he could he would spin the tires on our cars.
They just do such cute things at this age!

LOL!! so hilarious! Very cute pictures, and I know what you mean about sometimes it's just so cute it's hard to remember we have to teach them not to do those things, or at least try to teach them...
Too cute! I've learned it's better to smile and take a picture!
Jacob is getting SOOOOOO big! You HAVE to come visit this fall!!!
Oh....let the fun begin!
I find it's a full time job just trying to keep them alive. :)
Too funny! Love it! I had a climber too (my middle child) Just wait, I bet he'll try scaling your bookshelves next...
Each stage has its trade offs. I can tell little Jacob is giving you plenty of smiles and fun with all of the stress of keeping him safe at the same time. He is darling!!!
That is quite funny and charming! He looks so cute sitting in the basket. He will keep you on your toes, no doubt.
The one of Jacob in the basket cracks me up. Ryan does the same thing with cars--they are such boys!
Love the chairs tipped over--seriously, what we do to keep them safe!
