My LO just climbed 14 stairs all by himself (I was right behind him)! He did it like he's done it a million times before. I didn't know babies climbed stairs at this age!
DD climbed a stair the other day too! I figured she was just going over to it to use it to stand, but nope she climbed right up. I didn't know they could do that either!
DS has been climbing stairs since mid-April. One of our cats loves to taunt him by sitting at the top of the stairs. DS giggles the whole time he climbs up to try and get her. Once DS reaches the top, the cat disappears and DS whines for someone to get him, since he hasn't figured out how to climb down the stairs.
Charlotte climbed about six at my parents yesterday (with me holding the racerback of her dress like a harness.) She kept getting distracted by the window and banister, though.
Our pediatrician warned us about this at DDs 9 month appointment. She's been climbing stairs for about a month now! Only up, though, never down. And of course we're always right behind her in case she decides to sit down where there's nothing behind here...
Re: Stairs
This! I'm trying to teach him how to turn around and go feet first down he wants to head dive!
