Stairs

We have mastered the stairs!!  Er, well, almost mastered the stairs.  Maxx can crawl up them like a pro, it is the down that we are still working on.  He grasps the concept that he has to scoot down them backwards, the pointing himself in the right direction is the tricky part.  He will be siting at the top, lay down with his face still facing down the stairs and start scooting backwards down the hall.  I give him an A for effort and understanding, now we will just keep turning him toward the right direction.  

The ability to quickly climb stairs opens up a lot more space that he can wonder off to, and it is keeping Mom on her toes.  Before I could shut some doors and know he was confined to the kitchen, dining room, and living room.  Now adding stair space and upstairs, let me tell you I am on my toes ALL of the time.  Last night Dad and Maxx were playing the "Chase me up the stairs" game.  Nothing like making a kid good at climbing stairs fast like a 185 pound Dad chasing you, ready to tickle tickle tickle.  Needless to say there were a LOT of giggles in my house last night.   Happy days.
