Friday was a big day as Sam figured out how to climb into our blue recliner on his own.  He tried first to just power up but then realized he needed a bit of help which he quickly found in his old buddy ottoman.  The ottoman forms a "V" with the chair (blocking the lamp, outlet, and small area that he *loves* to play in (and isn’t allowed in if we’re watching him) so he figured out quickly that he could wedge himself in the V and use it to leverage himself up.  It was quite impressive. 

I wish I had a photo of him afterwards as it was a classic triumphant look — seated in the blue recliner, arms spread out like a T, and grinning as big as can-be.  I laughed out loud.

This morning he added to his repetoire by climbing up onto the couch in the playroom: multiple times by pulling on my shirt and once without any help.

Look out bookshelves, futons, and tables!
