Like father and mother, like son and daughter

The babies love to climb. They'll climb anything: chairs, bookshelves, tables. They can't quite make it into bed yet. Airports are particularly fun because there's so many tables and chairs in the waiting areas. I put together a short photo essay on the amazing climbing babies. keep in mind that no parental help was given at any time (except when Helena wanted to get down)


Step 1: getting up. This generally involves grabbing something with your hands and then hoisting your butt up as high as it will go, hoping your knees or feet can get some purchase on something.

Step 2: Pointing at Daddy and laughing. Hey kid, don't brag. I can do it too, you know. I just don't fit between the shelves.

.

Step 3: Try to get down, realize you can't, and laugh some more.

.

Step 4: Turn into James. Lounge like a monkey in a tree.

.

Step 5: scoot right off!

.

that wasn't so hard, was it? Next time, Helena, I expect you to do it all by yourself. Also, pick up your toys, both of you!
