Our little monkey

We've long joked that Eli's strength and flexibility to weight ratio was not in our favor.  He is super strong, super agile, super slim, super confident and super curious.  This week he learned how to climb out of his Pack & Play.  We found him half way down the stairs when he should have been napping.  The next day he climbed out and locked the bedroom door - it was 40 minutes before Poppy was able to gain access!  Then, last night he discovered the gas pipe in the garage.  Before we knew it he had climbed up onto a folding chair next to it and was making attempts to climb the pipe itself.  Uncle Andrew provided him some stability and protection but Eli did all the work.  He went hand-over-hand and walked his feet up the wall until he made it to the ceiling.  Holy cow!  Where do we go from here???

  1. Perhaps enrolling him in the circus? Since I'm guessing the military won't be an option! But watch out, those special ops might want him!!!
