Climbing, climbing, climbing

I have known for a while that this kid is a climber.  Even though we have child locks on our drawers and cabinets, he learned very quickly the drawers still open enough to climb them like a ladder to reach the goodies on the counter.

He will dump his toys out and climb into his bucket.  He thinks this is really funny.

We took him to the park back at the beginning of January and he climbed the rock wall!  My hand is purely in case he falls and I didn't help him at all.  He climbed the wall a few times before looking for something more challenging.

When he can't climb on something to achieve his goal, he finds a tool that can assist him.  He has learned a stick can turn on the Christmas lights on the balcony.

Did I mention he's doing dishes?  He climbs into this position, turns the water on, and rinses his bowl, plate, and silverware, then places them in the drying rack.  

I love watching this kid grow and explore and test his strength and abilities.  He is a pretty impressive little guy.
