Shhhhhhh ! .... new swing gate


New swing gate!



I love to climb!



Jasper is now practising his climbing skills more than ever. It seems that he grows so much so quickly so suddenly that we are not quite prepared for what have been happening. He managed to climb over our low shoe cabinet onto the other side of the living room. He also climbs up the sofa in less than half a second - while on the sofa he crawls from end to end really fast then reverts to an upright position bouncing up and down like on a trampoline before falling to a crawling position again. He got hold of our plant on our lamp table near the sofa and playing with the mud - that was his first time(and last) we weren't prepared for it.



I have had a very busy day, sold off the baby walker(didnt help baby to walk!) and the Graco stroller(too narrow, no leg rest), and bought a pressure-mount baby swing gate. Then I rearranged the *fence* of our living room. When I need to be away for a minute or two the only safe places I can put him are (1)the cot (2)tie him onto the high chair. I have had a visual of him walking 1-1.5 steps before falling to a crawling position, still cruising along furniture a lot, can stand for a few mins, crawling as fast as a bullet. I wonder when he will climb out of the cot!


I am a big kid now...
