climbing

he have had a gate at the bottom of our stairs for some time since we often have lots of little kids over. i think brad got tired of chasing them up and down the stairs. today cole noticed the gate open and for the first time decided to attempt the stairs. he climbed up about 4 of them before reaching for me instead of the next stair.

"momma, leave me alone. i've got this!"

he is also doing a great job drinking out of a sippy cup now. luckily he never got attached to a bottle so there was no difficult transition. he mostly drinks water, but sometimes he gets a little apple juice mixed in with it. soon we will start with some whole milk too!

and a very rare moment, where he was actually sitting still!
