She's been a climber since she started crawling. Many times I'd find her sitting on our dining room table playing - at 9 months. Several heart-attacks and attempts to keep her floor-bound later, I gave up.
She rarely falls. But she's still giving me heart-attacks.
My giant and I met in high school and have been married for over a decade. I cannot imagine living my life with anyone else.
Natalie is the typical first child - she loves to manage everyone including her parents and complete strangers. She collects things - anything really - and enjoys organizing and rearranging the contents of her drawers and shelves on nearly a daily basis. She is extremely sweet, rules-oriented, and loves giving people parting gifts to remember her by.
If anyone was made to be an Egyptian princess, it is our Ainsley. She loves being carried around and rubbed. She is an extremely happy child who seems to be singing 24/7 and will ham it up for a laugh.
Ryan is our miracle baby. We were told at 12 wks. in utero that he would never make it to 20 weeks. He was born with Pentalogy of Cantrell which includes ectopia cordis, omphalocele, herniated diaphragm, sternal cleft, and ventricular septal defect (VSD). Additionally, he has a missing PDA, pulmonary atresia, hypoplastic right heart syndrome (HRHS), and a cor triatriatum membrane in his heart. To read his full story, click on the labels Baby Boy (before birth story) and Ryan (since birth story).

We have a little climber too! One of the craziest things I remember her doing was climbing up on top of the piano and walking across the keys.....at 9 months! I've had a few heart attacks the past few years too. :-)

Oh Leighann, I hear you! Our Sam is a climber too and for better or worse I am LONG past the heart attack stage... He is almost 12 and very agile.
On our house, at the front corners, the brick is set -out about 1/2" in a probably 12-18" square pattern. Sam has climbed the front of our house like spider man UP to the 2nd story window. I may have pic of him I can email you. My MIL can't watch and would threaten to tie him down when they would babysit when the kids were little.
Our Granddaughter Abigail was always a climber. She is 18 now...so I am happy to say she survived! (:>)
