Silas CLIMBS... keep finding him sitting on the dining table

Silas has learned a new skill... if he stands on things, he is tall enough to climb onto the seat of a chair. (He knows to move things in order to stand on them, too!) Once on the chair, he knows how to climb onto the table. Once on the table, he knows that there is normally a cell phone to hold up to his ear, pretending to talk.

Silas IS a little stinker.

(Mike documented photos of this today, as we were BOTH flabbergasted with his newest discovery.)

Step 1: Find something to stand on.

Step 2: Find something a little taller.

Step 3: Climb onto chair.

Step 4: Stand on chair.

Step 5: Climb onto table.

Step 6: Locate object that sparked your attention in the first place. (Sydney yells "Baby is on the table!")

Step 7: Act like you are supposed to be there; perhaps no one will notice.

Step 8: Answer honestly when asked "What do you think you're doing on the table?" Silas replied "TALK. DIS. (this)" and then, flashed us a big, proud smile.

We've also discovered that Silas has GO-GO-GADGET ARMS. He keeps managing to get things off of the counters and table.

The cheese popcorn didn't fare well.

OR a brand new bag of tortilla chips.

Standing on the bench. (Had to crank the window closed so that he didn't go out onto the sunporch via window.)

Silas climbs. Little stinker!

UPDATE: 07.12.12 - Silas discovered that he does not need something else to stand on. He has now figured out how to get onto the chairs without help. He also climbs onto the storage bench, wicker basket and couch. (Yep... we're screwed!)
