"Maaa!"
So I said "Yeah?"
"Maaaa!"
"Do you need help?"
"Yah"
So like a good mother I put Milo down to see what Talia needed and I found her like this...and I told her to stay put while I ran down stairs to get the camera. I am pretty sure that she couldn't go anywhere. I am not sure how exactly she got into this position but I have seen her climb up and walk across the window.
(9-8-08) Talia is 18 months old! Hurray for nursery! Especially since I am the Young Women president and Preston is in the bishopric. It is amazing to me how Talia figures out how to get into things especially if it involves climbing. She usually does her most dangerous exploring while I am occupied. I remember telling Preston, not too long ago that I was grateful that our TV was up high so Talia couldn't push the buttons. Oh how I was wrong. My sweet daughter got the swivel chair (which is extremely safe for a child all on its own) out of the office - all by herself, and climbed on it - all by herself, and pulled the drawer out - all by herself, and climbed in it - all by herself. She did all of this to push a button and not only did she turn the TV on and off multiple times she climbed up next to the TV and stood up to reach the DVD player. Just when I think I know her abilities and have things under control she pulls a new trick out of the hat. OH and she got down all by herself a few times actually before I took the chair away only to face the wrath of a toddler. :) I will never say being a mom is boring! It is the most entertaining and crazy job there is! I love it!

What a sweet mischeif maker!!! She is so adorable! And I love the fluff on her bum!!
I wish I could somehow borrow some of the toddler determined ingenuity because I'm afraid that, when faced with an obstacle, I'm too quick to give up (or call Guy to come and bail me out). Perhaps one of these days instead I'll shift to an 18-month-old view of the world and think, "Maybe if I just open the drawer. . ."
(and I just looked over at the side--Holy Cow! You've been a busy blogger. I've got to get reading. . .)
Wow! She is quite the adventurer. Can't wait to see what she climbs next. You are going to have to get her a climbing wall for her birthday!!
She is such a little climber. You must be so busy all the time. It is pretty cute and entertaining though for the rest of us. I loved the video of Milo - he seems so calm and content. I can't wait to meet him. I wish it was this weekend but I will have to wait until Thanksgiving.
What a little daredevil! Wow! Kids are so smart when they need to be creative and do things themselves. Austin found a way to get on top of his 4 drawer dresser and couldn't get down...don't know how he got there.
Oh, she is such a cutie pie. How does she find herself in these funny spots?
