no fear of failure -or of falling

So Brody is a bit of a climber (is that really a shocker?). It never fails that you look away for a second, turn back, and he's pulled himself up on something in the room. His absolute favorite trick is to climb up the couch, onto the end table, and fall over the armrest onto couch pillows. So I decided to take some picture of his climbing this morning, this was all before his nap (it was actually just a mediocre day, not too much climbing). Oh, and if you were wondering if he's ever tried to fall over the armrest of the couch onto the floor, trust me, he has!

Climbing to see out the window, and later climbing to fit in the entertainment center.

Up unto the couch, then onto the end table, unfortunately I missed his free fall.

He climbs into his chair which is helpful, except he sometimes makes a break for the table.

He must want one of those FARMS church books on the higher shelf. Um, he also likes to climb up to make out with himself in the mirror. We're hoping he'll grow out of it before he's a teenager.

That is so scary those ones of him "hanging" on the window sill (which is hopefully not on the second floor) and the bookcase. I can't look, it's too scary! He's got no fear!

wow! You have a dare devil on hands. He is so darling!

These pictures are hilarious. Even though you don't want him climbing all over the place you just have to smile (at least sometimes). Just look at his happy face in many of those pictures. Nathan's been more daring lately too. The joys of little boys.

oh that is one climber, and I thought Austin was bad... that is crazy that he climbs up the window sill.

That is awesome! I've never really seen a true climber in action (or in action photos). That really is pretty amazing how he seems to be able to climb just about anything. Wow, you've got your work cut out for you! :)
