We don’t use our upstairs much so Ellie has never climbed our stairs. She’s never really even noticed them.  On Sunday at church, something clicked and she climbed the stairs, over and over again.  She climbed them so many times that her face was flushed!  She also was very upset with us when we told her that it was time to go home!

Later that day, we were enjoying a gorgeously warm day outside.  I was doing a little yardwork and Ellie decided that climbing stairs was so much fun, she wanted to climb concrete stairs!  (All pictures taken by Nik.)

She’s remarkably good at climbing stairs.  She’s climbing them now without any hesistation.  That seems to be how she’s approached all her developmental milestones (gross-motor ones at least).  She just waits until she can do them perfectly and then off she goes.

Next up, walking!
