Upwardly mobile

014

Cole is extremely vertically motivated.  With complete obliviousness to consequence, he will attempt to climb just about anything and will go as high as his physical ability will allow.  I am in a constant state of alert--moving furniture, laying chairs on the floor, eliminating potential stepping stones--basically, doing anything to prevent him from shimmying to the top of the dining room table, climbing up the built-ins, or laying claim to the countertops.  I think that I have either somehow forgotten this same stage of Franny's physical development, or this is a state-of-mind that must come from being the shortest member of the family.  Either way, it's an adventure!
