Morning Calisthenics

Every day when mom or dad comes into my room to break me out of my upstairs baby cage, we all plop down on the ground for a little chit-chat and some exercise. As you can sort of see in these pictures, Brown Dog and Max are both here with us as well to supervise my exercise. So, after some pleasantries with my mom, I find the nearest thing I can – in this case, her leg – and climb over. Once I’m over, I smile and clap for myself, then it’s time to climb back over her leg to the other side, clap, smile and repeat. 

I gotta tell you, I love climbing over things, and up them. When dad’s here in the mornings and he lays down on the ground, I jump on his lap and start to climb up his chest to his head. However, he usually stops me before I get to far along…not really sure why, but he’s not a big fan of me using his mouth and nose as hand and foot holes for my accent…so selfish!
