It's in his blood (5/365)

I don't suppose I should be surprised at how good a climber Pickle is, considering that his parents first date was rock-climbing!

But today when we went to check out the local playground, he clambered his way up this ladder-type construction to make it to the slide.  I hovered near him, and it was only on his third go that I risked taking quick snaps with my phone before dashing back to have my hands nearby in case he slipped - not that he needed me, but it's better to be safe than sorry.

Each time he got to the top, he applauded himself, which was just adorable... then zoomed down the slide!

How many other 16-month olds are this agile I wonder?

Cheers, KangaRue :)

  5. Fiona, I was just thinking the same thing about your Linky. Will do so when I'm next on my computer as opposed to my phone.

  8. Scarily so, but he has been on his feet since 7-months old, so is physically/kinasthetically precocious.

    Glad to be back!

  14. My two are big climbers too and they scare me to death. I'm always right by them but hubby is much more relaxed. I dread to think what they get up to when it's just Daddy who takes them out as he just lets them get on with it. I have my heart in my mouth the whole time :D
