Our littlest is CRAZY. I don't know if it is just that I haven't had a toddler for a while, or if she is really unusual, but I can't get over how much this little girl gets into. She has an affinity for climbing. She climbs on any and everything. I decided to do this little photo gallery to illustrate what I mean. Notice how many of these pictures are in her jammies- litterally before 9 am. 
"Feeding the fish"- notice the pile of fish food on the counter
"Feeding the fish"- notice the pile of fish food on the counter and the proud look on her face.
She loves to drag the barstools wherever she needs them-
mostly she takes them to the pantry where she helps
herself to snacks.
This one is new- she has been fascinated with the microwave
for a few days. Sometimes I will find her standing on the
burners on the stove. Soon she'll be cooking for the family.
This was a few months ago- I left the room for no more than 30 seconds-
in that time she used an unhung mirror as a step-stool to get on the
counter and brush her teeth, turn on and off the lights, throw stuff in the sinks, etc.
"Helping mommy garden"- Notice the nose and the soil stuck to the
drool on her hand. This picture doesn't do it justice.
Nothing like fresh baked bread- I turned around and she grabbed
a whole loaf and just started chomping at it.
Next, I got out the knife to slice some for Cam.
Elle wanted to try that too.
I used to keep a bowl of fruit on the counter-
until I started to find little 2 teeth bite marks in every fruit.
My mom said "I don't know how you get anything done." I don't do much more than follow her and try to keep damage to a minimum, but it is the best job I've ever had. She is truly a joy- we wouldn't trade her for the world. One of my favorite phrases since she has joined our family has been "I didn't know how much fun a little girl would be." I really didn't.

Amen to having fun little girls around. What a cute little bum!!!
That is too funny. I also have a girl who loves to get into lots of trouble. I usually have her pose for a picture while trying not to laugh, and THEN I give her a lecture. For some reason it doesn't seem to be sinking in.
Those are some really cute pictures. Girls are so much fun.
Cute! I do think your oldest two might be unusually conservative as far as destruction goes. Welcome to my world...
The fruit thing is so stinkin' cute. You know some parents would be happy just to have their kids get near whole wheat bread and fruit.
What a doll! She reminds me so much of my crazy little guy. It must be something about being the third child? I love her demeanor when she's walking across the bathroom counter stark naked -- like it's the most natural thing in the world to be doing!
too funny! my girls are pretty busy, i'm glad i'm not the only one who feels like her day consists of damage control and cleaning up messes. :) i missed book club but if you still have those questions, give me a call or email me!
Hey Courtney. I don't know if you remember me from Louisiana, but I saw your comment on Rachel's blog and was looking at your's. I think we have the same kid! My youngest sounds just like your's. So you made me feel better today. Now I'm know it's not my fault, because I know you are a great mom. Your family is very cute.
Like others, I love the cute bum picture. I had to laugh. With 4 of my own I have had so many of these moments. Glad you are capturing yours. Have fun. It only gets better.
