TBT -- More Monkey Pictures

Welcome to Throwback Thursday -- blog style!  This post originally ran on December 13, 2012.  Here you can see why we finished our basement the way we did!

More Monkey Pictures

As promised ... more Alan monkey pictures!


See the plywood on the left side?  That is to protect
wires and copper tubing that he was trying to
use to climb.  Thank goodness DH is handy!

scaling the support pole ...
the kid has "monkey toes"



Climbing up the basement banister
Note it is now a 2"x4" because he
broke the original banister


I love that he does this with a DVD box in
his hand.  He can go all the way from
the basement to the main floor without
touching the actual stairs!
trying to climb through the deck stairs
... he didn't fit!

Squeezing into a cubby in the basement
Another tree he likes to climb at his
aunt's house ... several people
observed that the statue is probably
watching over him!
The kid's flexibility is amazing!

My BIL commented that he looks like the
vulture on Snoopy's doghouse!

More balance beam work

High up in the tree

He had been trying to climb the shelves in his closet.
Note: the bottom left clothes bar has already been
removed ... so have the closet doors but that was
years before!
Somehow he managed to shimmy up on the shelf


crawling across for variety

not sure how he got up there in the first place

oh, maybe like this!

Doesn't everyone relax on top of the monkey bars?
  
just hanging out

Inside he also resorts to bed burrowing


Stair diving ... headfirst on his back!

Hiding in "the tunnel" as he calls it

  1. Wow! What amazing climbing ability! Really! I would be holding my breath all the time but he looks to do it so capably. Those photos are really great and I enjoyed seeing them so much. Blessings!
