It seems we have a climber on our hands. He love to explore, loves to climb, and loves to try to do anything that his older siblings are doing! ;) The table is an ideal place to climb up on! Emptying the dishwasher is his favorite 'chore,' but for him it's really more fun than work! The desk...and he is smiling for the camera here...this is his 'camera face.' ;) Oh, is he ever

This little cutie celebrated a birthday recently! :) He's always busy - popped two of the ballons on his chair before he even sat in the chair! The only way to get the birthday hat to stay on was let him chew on a cucumber. ;) And he definitely would NOT pose for a picture with the cake because he was MUCH too busy trying to grab the cake and the candle every time it came somewhat near him....
