Busting out

Every now and then Richie does something that takes my breath away. 2 weeks ago it was him starting to use baby sign language (more on this in another post, I videoed that one). Last week it was this. Richie has double doors on his bedroom (don't ask me why, the house came like that). We keep one door closed and use the other side most of the time. I put him down in front of his chair next to the open door and 10 minutes later I came back and he had worked his way around the entire perimeter of the room, making a big U from the chair to the stool, to the rocking chair, along the crib, to the changing table along the dresser and then scaled his way along the closed door until he was hanging halfway out into the hallway, as if to say "I'm busting outta here Mom!" He was obviously very proud of himself.
