So, I go in to get Addison up in the morning, and she's just talking away having a good old time. I leave her in the crib to go put my contacts in and hear a "thud thud" followed by a distinctive cry. I'm thinking, no big deal, she usually throws her head back against the crib protesting her continued "jail time" sentence begging for me to release her. I go back into her room... and there's no Addison in her crib....
The door is open, Hunter's downstairs and my husband is asleep in bed, so.... where did she go?!
I found her walking around the top of the banister stairs, pacifer in mouth, blanket in hand, just cruising around like nothing happened! She looks at me with these big proud eyes as if to say, "well, you wouldn't come and get me, so I took care of the situation! Now, let's go get some breakfast!"
So, needless to say, I spent the entire rest of the day going around town shopping for baby gates to contain my little escape artist. I knew this day would come- I just am happy it ended with no casualties!
I heard a friend say that her little brother figured out how to climb ON TOP OF THE REFRIGERATOR! He would go from chair to countertop, to microwave, to cabinets, to fridge. Addison climbs the chairs and the pantry shelves, but hasn't reached that level of insanity yet. When she does, its gymnastics enrollment for us so she can learn how to fall safely! :)
