Sam is crazy reckless when it comes to getting around. The kid will stand up on absolutely anything or anyone (including his sister); and once he is up he thinks he can transition to anything or anyone.
Today we were playing with a laundry basket. I put him in it and he had fun for a while and then later I flipped it over to make a gigantic drum. He, of course, decided to stand up at it which was all fine and good until he thought he could go from it to his exersaucer which was about 4 feet away. He cannot transition that far and fell flat on the floor. He was upset but calmed down after a couple of minutes of mommy time.
This is not a one-time occurrence type of thing - I am chasing him all over the first floor trying to keep the area around where he is standing free of toys that would hurt if he landed on him. A couple of nights ago he climbed into his toy basket and then stood up. I think if it had been a few inches taller he would have climbed onto the table.
He is definitely keeping me on my toes. I cannot wait until Spring, by which I am sure he will be walking, when we can really run around and play in the yard.
