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.
