Independence

I am speaking of Aiden and his new found independence.  This independence comes with the newly acquired abilities to climb up onto chairs, the couch and step-stools, open doors and help one's self to food in the pantry.    Also has come his disdain for high chairs at home or in restaurants.   I am trying to embrace his new found independence but it does result in numerous protests.   But more importantly, some adorable moments for capturing.
