Stair Climbing

Daddy's been teaching Hannah how to climb the stairs. This weekend was her 1st time to go all the way up the stairs to the 2nd floor by herself. Once she realized how "easy" it was, we found her climbing up rather quickly. At first her "motivation" was to be with us, so she'd climb up the stairs to be with mommy or daddy. Then today, all mommy had to do was face Hannah towards the stairs, and up she went.

Later when mommy had her back turned, Hannah decided to climb the stairs. Baby girl did have a brief toppling over when she went up to grab the cell phone that had been left on the 3rd stair from the bottom. She got all excited after obtaining her goal and then tried to stand or sit up. Since her hands were holding the phone, she fell backwards.

She's not very good at climbing down yet. She seems more scared to go down.

I haven't figured out how to get the photos off of the Pearl onto the computer. And we still have no camera yet. I've been waiting patiently everyday hoping that it gets here in the mail. So I'm dying here as these milestones are going unrecorded. Like all 4 teeth showing very clearly when she opens her mouth... top 2 and bottom 2. Or the speed at which she climbs the stairs.

Very fun, stair climbing. If I have one piece of advice for you about babies and stairs - teach Hannah to go down the stairs on her belly, feet first. "Feet first" was my motto for months when we were in our 2 story, and it got to the point where I could just say to Chloe "feet first" she would equate that with "be careful."

good advice. i figured feet first is the safest. i've been trying to teach her to go down feet first, but she insists on turning around. she's really stubborn. i guess she gets a bit of that from both of us.
