MAGELLAN

It blows my mind how quickly younger children learn from their older siblings. Allegra is up and at em and just everywhere. She winds up buried behind stuff in our closet, climbing up onto step stools to get closer to the counters, and her favorite, climbing onto the kitchen chairs, and then onto the table where she wreaks all kinds of havoc.
My favorite story however, was when Kristen heard Allegra's muffled voice calling for her. Kristen came to find that Allegra had gotten up onto the table, walked across her high chair, and gotten stuck upside down in the chair. (I wish I'd been there to see that.) So Kristen righted her, and put her back on the floor, before going back to laundry. A few minutes later she heard the clinking of glass. Thinking she'd moved glasses from the table already, she went to check. What she found was that Allegra had made it to her chair again, but this time right side up. And she was reaching to the elevated counter top behind her high chair, where she'd removed the candle votives from the holder, put the candles back in the holder, and was clinking the glass votives against each other. Incredible.
It's so much fun to see what she'll discover and get into next. We should probably be afraid, but we're just enjoying our little princess way too much.
