She started out innocently enough... she cleared out some space on her dressing table so that she could climb into it at 11 months old... I also have a picture of her climbing up a Lil Tikes slide at 12 months old... just never scanned it in.
Then it progressed to her trying to climb into a highchair at 14 months old...notice her feet are completely off the ground...she's really, really trying to do something here...her face is red... her cousin, Racquelle, is watching gleefully in the background :D
No fear at all! She does this often, still! She's on her daddy's hand, in the air, fearlessly. Yes, the mirror in the background bares her handprints... hehehe another thing she still loves...the mirror! Nah, not my child... Oh but now, she loves not to just look into the mirror, she has to 'paint' it with soap... she'll climb up on the bathroom countertop and do this... always have to watch her! hehehe
Are you seeing my point yet about Calista being my monkey child??? This was taken when she was a little younger than 2. Yes, that's Jeremy she's hanging from... she still does this a lot, esp. when I'm on the computer, she hangs from my arm.

Balancing herself between the coffee table and the sofa...loves doing this as well. Taken August 8, 2001... 29½ months old.
