Getting a bit too close to my corn.

climbing

Last night Jackson learned how to climb up in the couch all by himself.  He is so incredibly proud of himself.  And that is the only place he wants to be.  On the couch.  Crawling and walking back and forth which made us a bit nervous at first.  But he actually seems to be figuring out the boundaries and hasn't fallen off yet.  Well, except for falling off the end table where he likes to crawl and sit on the laptop.  We have been practicing the meaning of 'no' a lot since this new found talent!
