How to Entertain a Burrito

Asher's new favorite activity is to crawl up to a table, couch, leg, wall, or other upright object and use it to stand up.  He will then grab whatever is newly in reach and bang it against the object he's balancing on.  Unfortunately, he often manages to knock whatever he's banging onto the floor and then he has to choose between standing up and banging.  So, he entertains himself for quite some time trying to solve this conundrum.
He climbs up,
then realizes that his toy is on the ground.
So he gets back down to get it,
then climbs back up,
but realizes that his toy is STILL on the ground.
So, he gets back down to get it.
And then he climbs back up
over, and over, and over.  
After several rounds of this, Asher decides that it isn't working.  Here he is attempting to lift the object back up onto the table so that he can both bang and stand, but unfortunately he hasn't yet developed the finger strength to lift his favorite banging toy that high.  
One day, Burrito... one day.

Those are great pictures. You can see him thinking, "Huh. Now it's down there again..."
