Watch Out For The............Stairs

Avery will be 1 at the end of this month! Seriously, where has the time gone.

She is learning and growing so quickly! For example:

We moved into our new house and this new house has stairs. Before we moved in and were just bringing some of our things over, a little at a time, she would climb up on the first step and just sit there and not go any higher. So the first night we were officially moved in she got up on that first step and we didn't think anything of it until we went to go check on Cole, who had gone up stairs. We turned the corner to head up and to our shocking amazement Avery had gone all the way to the top! Scary! We went and bought a gate that night.

We got the gate home but with the way the stairs are it wouldn't work! Tom went back and got another one but same thing, it just wouldn't work. So we figured the best thing now was to teach her how to come down safely.

Having an older brother to watch really helped. She learned quickly with only a couple of falls. Sad! :( but it helped her know what she could and could not do on the stairs.

She hasn't fallen since and is doing very well getting up and down on her own.

See for yourself.

She is also now crawling on her knees and getting so close to walking!
