We have become a bunch of little monkeys lately. Hagen can now climb onto the fireplace. He thinks it is the funnest thing ever. I keep getting onto him, so he knows he isn't suppose to get on it. How do I know he understands me - because when he is crawling over to it, he looks back at me. He continues to look at me while he hikes his leg up. Then when I tell him 'no' he gives me his shy look. The little stinker.
So yesterday he was trying to speed crawl to the fireplace before I could pull him away and he misjudged how close he was to it. He put his hands up to grab the fireplace and he was too far away from it - his face slammed down onto the edge. I felt so bad for him. After he calmed down some, I gave him a 'boo boo' pack.
And of course, because Hagen had one, Mason had to have one. (You can kind of see Hagen's wound in the background.)

Here we are today, you can see the bruise in this picture.

Obviously we have forgotten all about the trauma from the day before.

I threw this one in just because it is so Hagen. This is my life and I love it... see what I see everyday! How could you not love your life when this greets you everyday :-)
And when this greets you....
So, back to my monkeys ... and now we are climbing on the ottoman, in the toy box, on the chairs, and in and out of the bathtub (yikes)...
'What? This isn't how you get off the chair?'
'Why can't I stay here while you read the bedtime story?'
'I'm getting off, give me a minute.'
In other news, Hagen took about 6 steps tonight! Yea, Hagen! Mason is also doing great. He is walking all over the place, but once he falls he has to find something to help him get back up again. Once he learns how to get up from sitting, he will be all over the place - (help!).
