New trick

Hello friends!

Well, a week away and I have a big new skill to report!

Ellie can now hike a leg up on to the fireplace hearth!!  Here is the little one doing it for the first time...

 ...and then of course she could not get herself down!

 "Ummmm...now what?"

 "Oh, I'll go to my favorite coffee table and see what I can find in these drawers."

 Pay no attention to the fact that our baby is sitting approximately 12 inches from a television.

And she even found time this week to practice her fire fighting skills!  Maybe that's why she likes climbing up on the fireplace.
