A MAJOR Problem

We have a MAJOR problem. Grace can climb. 

She can climb the stairs with ease. Zach was a little bit younger when he mastered this, but still I think she is way too young. She spends a good portion of the day trying to pry the gate off the stairs so she can climb up... sorry baby girl, the gate is zip tied (classy) to the banister. 

 When she does manage to convince someone to put her over the gate she is fast! Lucky for her, her brothers like to let her climb over and then go upstairs with her. She will learn to climb that gate soon. 

Today she learned about step stools. Zach learned this lesson way too early as well. My guess is that like him she will soon learn that stools are portable. Today she discovered that if someone leaves a stool near a chair she can create her own set of stairs, this was the result. 

Babies do NOT belong on the table! I can't find the pictures of Zach on the table, but it's safe to say that he also liked to be on the table. She also liked being on the couch and in the boy's fort. Wait until she discovers that she can get in the sink with a stool. Ahh! For some reason I mistakenly thought that there was no way she could be more mischievous than Zach, I forgot that she had been trained by Zach! She doesn't know another way to be!

As it turns out she can also climb up into the treehouse. This one makes me really nervous! As she's never outside alone, it's not a huge issue, but shouldn't she have some fear? Nope, she has none.
