Kaylee has been MIGHTY busy these days! She has been hard at work trying to "grow up" as fast as possible. She has added many things to her list of accomplishments over the past few weeks including:
1. Pulling/ climbing up to see what is on the counter (she can actually get her chin to the top of the counter)
2. Opening doors (time for more child proofing),
3. Feeding herself with a fork (not perfect, but definitely improving)
4. Sitting through an entire book (quite a feat for this "busy bee")
5. Going from 2 naps a day down to 1
6. Going to sit on the potty by herself when she has to go to the bathroom (not the big one in the bathroom, her little potty)
7. Attempting to climb out of her crib (hopefully we are a LONG way away from totally mastering this skill)
8. And last but certainly not least climbing the rock wall on her climber!
YES you read correctly! Santa got her a climber for Christmas, which we keep inside. She mastered the slide the first day. She was able to go up the stairs by herself a few months later. And now she is 18 months old and has figured out how to climb the rock wall. I, I mean Santa, purposefully picked out a climber that could "grow" with her and that would hold more than one child comfortably. There are 2 sides (one small and one large) that have a rock wall. When the stairs are just not challenging enough children can climb one of these walls. I never imagined that an 18 month old would figure out, all by herself, how to scale the smaller version of the rock wall. I attempted to catch this unbelievable feat on video but had to frantically get the camera ready and then film it while trying to support her in case she fell. So see for yourself how this little girl did it. Remember NO ONE has ever showed her how to do this, nor has she ever seen a bigger kid climb it. I just want to know how she figured out that the wall was made for climbing.
sorry for my annoying commentary during the video, I could not believe what I was seeing
