Ann, Evies a world champ climber, moving books or anything she can find to climb higher...even a sleeping mummy. just do it when you're around and if you teach her safe ways of getting up and down she should be fine. always get down backwards, then she'll never fall down stairs (in theory).
BTW I added one of the only photos of a pregnant me to my facebook page, i was about 4.5 months. we were visiting our being-built house...oh how i miss that house :(
I just got a weekly email that i've subscribed to and it actually had a section on climbing
Ann;
Climb every cushion
Even as your baby learns to walk, she'll set her sights on climbing. You'll spend lots of extra minutes getting up your front steps and into the house because she'll want to scale the stairs all by herself - not once, not twice, but until you call off the ascent.
Skills developed: gross motor
What you'll need: lots of pillows and cushions.
Pile up a high stack of pillows for a safe, fun climbing activity. Use the largest, most stable pillows, such as sofa cushions and bed pillows, on the bottom, then add chair cushions, scatter cushions, and so on. Holding your baby steady, help her climb up the mountain of pillows and stand triumphantly on top. If you have a lot of rectangular pillows, you can use them to create more of a stair-step structure, but you'll need to hold your baby's hand to make sure she doesn't step off the top tier into thin air.
Safety note: never leave a baby alone with her pillow mountain; this activity should be supervised constantly. And move any furniture with sharp corners, so there's nothing for her to bang against if she falls.
HTH

LOL that's great. What a co-incidence eh?
Will try that tomorrow.

sophies learnt to climb onto the sofa!! scary!!!
Very scary.... I think thats how the egg on Jovie's head happened. She's doing the step up as well. We lay a mattress on the ground and get her to climb up & down... we may pile some pillows up as well now :)
Matilda climbs like there is no tomorrow so I'm not interested in teaching her too much yet ;) Matilda climbs 6 foot fences & the side of the house...
Okay well had a good night but very very early morning, and today is my big run morning. Have to get the lunches to the high school, and Matilda ready for Montessori...I have to cook dinner in the slow cooker early because I have to rush around in the arvo getting ready for work so Thursday morning is crazy! I've done the lunches for the school & Matilda's lunch, still have to get everyone dressed & Jovie's just done a big poo....LOL YAY!
Ok who the hell replaced my baby with a toad? Please tell me theres something in Wonder Weeks cos i am going insane!!
Not too bad a night tho, bed at 7 woke at 10, 1 and 5. since i wasnt in bed at 10 i dont count that as having to get up ;)
it is typical from the wonder weeks book, that they dont sleep as well, dont go down as easily, wake more often ummmm cant think of the rest, i have lent my book to a friend!!!
Thats it Jols... perfect baby goes out of sorts for a few weeks :(

What's going on??
Ella slept a total of 1.5hrs! she usually has 3! She is just fighting the zzz's.
We had her shots today. She went well and only cried/screamed at the one in her leg. Now we're just waiting for the fever... Our GP said Ella has to start moving in the next few months. So its tummy-time all the time.
