the spiderman weeble

Our anniversary weekend getaway was nice.  My parents took care of the baby while we went off to play.  We flew American which is really the worst.  It seems like they just haven't upgraded since the 80's, including their stewardesses.  There are no tv screens behind the seat in front of you which is a downer.  On the way there, I was forced to watch NBC promos.  On the way home, they actually showed the most recent Spiderman flick but the screen was pretty small and a couple of rows away.  Anyway I decided to read my Anthony Bordain book, "A Cook's Tour" instead.  Pretty good so far but I'm a fan so.. Speaking of Spiderman, the little man is climbing things...lots of things he shouldn't be climbing on, like the vintage dresser which houses our TV..  Last night it looked like he was able to climb up onto the couch by himself while holding on to one of us or our limbs at least.  Today after lunch, I turn around and to my surprise, he's sitting on the couch all by himself.  He was sitting there nonchalantly playing with one of the throw pillows, like it was an ordinary thing.  What?!!  He can now totally get up there on his own and get off of the couch on his own. It's low enough or he's gotten tall enough to swing his leg over the seat and pull himself up and to get off, he turns on to his belly so that his feet dangle off the seat and then he slides back until his feet hit the ground.  Now here comes trouble for sure!!  He likes to walk on the couch and try to grab things off the bookcase that's next to it - not good.  Or reach over the other end and try to play the guitar. He might flip off the couch if he's not careful.  Ugh, this means I am totally going to need eyes in the back of my head now.   It's crazy how nimble and adept he can be to do climb on and off the sofa, but at the same time he's a total weeble.  He keeps tripping over himself head first.  I can't count how many times he's stumbled and has landed flat on his back.  Can't be good for his brain cells.  He sometimes claps his hands or snaps his fingers above his head when there's a song or music that he likes.  My sister's boyfriend noticed how his hands can barely reach over his own head because it's so big.  It doesn't seem overtly large to me but it is true - he can barely reach above his head.  Hopefully he won't weeble off the couch when I'm not on guard.
