this blue bench was originally put across the stairs to stop him from going up the stairs. for a few weeks it worked beautifully until he learned to climb up on the bench. and now he goes from bench to stairs quite easily.
very precarious perch there on the stool of avery's art easel. i caught him right before he was going to fall down...
blake loves to "help" with the dishes, and he figures this is the best way to do that.
he does this almost everyday...i also found him on our big black table the other day...it only takes a minute and an available chair...
this was a personal favorite of mine...while i was making dinner one day and he was pulling out pots and strainers and tupperware...he got in the cupboard! so funny. i let him try to get himself out...but he needed help...
he also enjoys (not pictured) climbing up on avery's bed and trying to pull down pictures etc. that are near her bed, getting on the stool in the bathroom, on the futon in the front room and don't get started on the stairs! i have to go up and down the stairs with him many times a day. he gets up okay by himself but coming back down still makes me nervous...so i supervise. what a fun stage, no actual sarcasm, i really love this stage he's in, it just wears me out! but he is so stinking cute (in my opinion) it's hard to be irritated for long!
