Ooh Ooh, Aah Aah

Last week we spent a few days at Todd's sister Laura's house. One morning the adults were talking in the kitchen, and kids were all playing in the adjacent playroom. A bit into it, Laura's three kids all left the playroom, but I could still hear Hazel clinking around with blocks so I let her be. But a minute later, I realized it was rather silent, and I peeked in to make sure my kiddo was okay.

Imagine my surprise when this is what I found:
I was floored. She only figured out how to climb up on the couch the day before. That fridge comes up to my waist!

After I pulled her off, I watched her head straight over to get back on so I could figure out how she got did it. She used the oven handles as footholds and gripped the gas stove tops to pull herself onto the oven. That's as far as I let her go second time around, but now I wish I had held off. I would have loved to see her shimmy herself up to the highest level.

What a monkey!
