A peek at a few minutes in the busy life of my litte boy...

Dylan is a little brat! He climbs on EVERYTHING, he also lunges from thing to thing...he hasn't quite figured out the jumping thing yet, but I'm sure that will be soon :-S I have a hard time even going to the bathroom with him around, never mind showering! Can't stop watching him for even a few mins! And I have tried the playpen and he will stay in there for a bit, but if I'm out of sight then he'll climb out of it :-P Some ppl have suggested duct taping him to the wall to keep him out of trouble, but it wrecks the paint :-P I was talking to someone the other day and they were talking about a velcro wall at a festival they went to...... I could use one of those around here!!
Dylan loves going to the playground and I LOVE taking him there! He can do almost everything Miriam can - slide down the biggest slides, walk/crawl across wobbly bridges etc. This is only the beginning I'm sure, I can't imagine what he'll be like at 15/16! ahh!! I just keep telling myself - it's just a stage, he'll grow out of it, right?
(Check out my facebook for a funny video of him climbing around - I would have posted it on here but I tried and after 4 hrs it still wasn't loaded, so I gave up. I'll try again another day).

How a 14 1/2 month old gets onto the table even if the chair is a little to far from the table to climb on....

Step 1: Climb onto Chair...

Step 2: Regain balance and move into a standing position...
Step 3: Move as far back as you can...
Step 4: Lunge forward...

Step 5: Get into sitting position :-)
(this particular time he also tried to steal Miriam's supper when she wasn't looking)....boys will be boys....

Here is another time I found Dylan dancing around on the table....this is a very regular thing at our house...Dylan climbs on the table, Mom or Dad say "NO" firmly and take him down, Dylan laughs mischievously and does it again in a few mins
