Nothing on my kitchen counters is safe anymore. Eli steers the chairs around to exactly the spot he wants to access and then climbs up. We moved the higher chairs we had because he could get up onto the counter from those. Not so good.

I sitting on the couch and could hear him crunching the apple so I wasn't really monitoring him. Derek did warn me that he likes to take bites out of all of them, but I guess I forgot. Notice how he sampled 3? It made me laugh. He was reaching for a fourth when I intervened. He redeemed himself by clearly saying, "ah-pull" to me. That makes a grand total of 4 words he says. And that's counting generously. The doctor this morning said to give him until he's 2 ( he turned 1.5 yesterday). I'm really not worried at all, but it is fun to hear him saying some things all of a sudden.
