Anyone else have a climber?

DD is a climber and has been since she learned to crawl, she gets up on the coffee table, the couch, the window sill, tries to use everything as a stool and I do mean everything. She also figured out that she can pull the drawers out to make stairs (drawers all have locks now) I had to take her scooter/walker out of the play room because all she does is climb on it and I turned around one day and she was standing on top of it in the middle of the room looking very proud.  Most recently she completely dissembled her music table, turned the base upside down and pushes it around the room to climb on. I let her keep that one b/c its wide, low and stable, much better than say a pile of books or a toy telephone. I'm glad she's so smart and strong but this is exhausting!

I'm afraid of this. My LO keeps trying to climb on her a activity table and piles her blankets and pillow in her crib to climb on. She even tried to climb the baby gate. But the funny thing is she never tries to get on the couch.

DS is a big time climber. He's learned how to scale the baby gates, the coffee table, chairs, activity table...everything except the drawer (locks were installed before he could try it out). We go to the park frequently and he totally takes off and climbs up the stairs and slides. My BFF has an indoor toy climber thing and he thinks he's hot stuff because he can climb up it and be taller than all the other kids. He's only fallen a few times though...luckily it's only about 2 feet up and he usually just laughs and climbs right back up it.

I've learned that having him wear shoes slows him down some! He hates them but sometimes this momma needs a mental breather!

Uggh, DD does the same thing but not to your extent yet. I'm sure she'll be there soon enough though. The other day I caught her standing on her walk and ride (it was in the ride position) climbing onto the kitchen chair!!!! She tries to climb EVERYTHING even things she cant balance on. When I'm on the floor she'll climb to stand on my stomach! Guess I need to start baby proofing for a climber..

yup my boys will stand on toys to try to get on the couch and have made it up a few times. they also climb onto the bottom shelf of a big bookshelf we have that I cleared off so they wouldnt eat the books! lol
