Maybe I should've named her Dingbat... =)

Ribbon seems to like to climb up things and then just slide off. I've had to catch her whenever she's on my bed because she starts crawling off the edge without anything to hang on to and then she slides off. Is that something she's going to grow out of? She's only 5 months old.

Babies are extremely into climbing about. As they get old they do get out of it....normally.

they grow out of climbing usually but if they don't they'll fall off of anything
sometimes its a calcualted fall and they just bail because its the only way down
it doesn't hurt them i would imagine they would have to fall very far before they get hurt
mine used to bail off of counters and kitchen tables and everything it didn't care

We get some good laughs out of Phil because he'll stretch way out to do something, and then get himself off balance and fall over. It never seems to bother him or hurt him, but it does look really funny to watch.

Phil is 5 months old as well.

I haven't noticed if Magellan (4 months old) is as klutzy yet, but he does seem to share the inclination to crawling up and over everything. I have a small flourescent "under cabinet" light fixture in his enclosure, and last night he had crawled over the cord and was swinging on it.
