The Cookie Rack

For the record: This is my wackiest post EVER...

Matt had to work late the other night, so I was whipping up dinner, doing laundry, and watching over Carter. We're trying to give him more and more freedom around the house and are letting him explore more, since he's a little steadier, won't whack his head on the tile, and sorta-kinda responds appropriately to "no."

So here I am getting some veggies all chopped up and Carter decides to get into the warming drawer below the oven. It's where I keep some random cooking stuff (I've never actually used it for "warming"...) and he pulled out a cookie rack. You know, the little metal rack that you put freshly baked cookies on?

Add to that, he was desperately wanting to wear the nursing necklace (this bright, chunky rainbow necklace that I would wear when nursing - kept him from yanking on my hair and I've just kept it around for, well, hell, I don't know...).

Add to all that, a package of toilet paper and a large chunk of broccoli.

And what you get is a COMPLETELY happy little boy, scooting the cookie rack along the floor like it was a walker toy! Few photos to demonstrate the excitement:
Totally amazing that you can see RIGHT THROUGH it:
And the picture that sums it all up - complete and total excitement:
And in real-time, here's a 13-second video of all that fun:



Ok, I don't know what else to add to this wacky post. Hope you enjoyed it!
