Life as I know it...

is over! Yep... over! I was sitting here at my computer reading something while my 11 months (on Sunday) old played in the room. I am able to monitor him and watch his cuteness from here. Being sick today, I don't have much energy for other things (though I did do a bunch of dishes this evening). So, I turned (after only a moment or two) and my little boy was on the couch!

This wouldn't have been so odd if my DH were home. DS loves to play on soft furniture (racing from one side to the other and throwing himself into pillows and cushions) and therefore we let him up there with us sometimes. Unfortunately, my DH is doing a computer side job for a friend of ours from church (we aren't with him because we are sick and they have twins my DS's age). Yep... DS was on the couch alone... and he got up there all by himself! That is the big part! So far he hasn't figured out, or isn't tall enough, how to get onto furniture himself. I quickly went over to him so he wouldn't fall. He was having so much fun, and was so cute, that I couldn't stop him. I just sat nearby and watched and laughed with him. I noticed one of his toys up against the couch... he made himself a step!

Life as I know it is over. I will have much less time for blog reading and, well, anything else that takes even a second of my attention away from my climber. Someday perhaps we will have him trained not to climb (or he will be older and know how not to fall!), but until then, I'll have to be paying lots of attention all the time!
