He can reach the countertops. Not just reach as in stick his hand up and grab stuff off the edges - no, he’s been doing that forever. Reach as in he figured out that his little table can be used as a booster to the upper world.

I come into the kitchen to find my child standing on top of his little table, happily reaching for everything on my cluttered countertops. Scissors, pill bottles, everything else that we have been desperately trying to keep away from this child, now all within his grasp. He is cackling his little head off, of course, delighting in this new world that he has discovered.

Where to put the forbidden items now?? I have a 20 foot ceiling in our great room, and I’m contemplating hanging baskets from the ceiling…. it started with picking things up off the floor, then off low tables, then off the edges of tables and counters and out of all my low bookcases and cabinets. Now I’m quickly running out of space to put the non-baby items.
