Running with my walker

Reuben has recently discovered how to walk/run with his walker. He loves to get up and zoom all around the house. He has also stood freestyle a couple of times as well.

The temptation of Christmas

Recently we put up our Christmas tree and I have to say it looks pretty impressive. This year we have a real tree and from past experience I know that they are very unstable.

To counteract this problem, we have put Reuben's playpen around the tree to deter any potential disasters. This has worked well until yesterday, when Reuben discovered how to extend his arms Inspector Gadget style in order to reach through and grab ribbons off presents and to pluck baubles of the lower branches. He has also learnt how to climb up the playpen in order to gain some extra height.

This morning, I found him sitting in the playpen next to the tree, chewing on a bow off someone's present. Please excuse the battered and drooled upon condition of your gifts this year- they have been well loved by Reuben.

I had to be sneaky taking this video of Reuben because lately as soon as he knows I'm either taking a photo or video, he charges over and tries to eat the camera.
