Goin' Up!

Yesterday, we were at Nick's parent's new home and there are about 15 stairs to get up to the home. It's a little townhome that's all one floor but it's on the second floor. Well we were in the garage looking through Christmas stuff and Neacel was crawling around and getting to be a mess. When Grandma left, to go up stairs, Neacel wanted to go up too. I just sat that watching him, as he stood at the bottom stair hitting his hand on the next one. He never has tried to go up so I didn't worry at all.

Then all the sudden, there he goes crawling up the stairs! As he went up, he would hit the next stair with his hand, everytime. We joke that he was just making sure it was there and sturdy! We don't have stairs in our home for him to learn and we keep him away from stairs because he will just crawl off the edge, literally (he has done it before)! So it was a shock to see him go all the way up.

I had just read earlier this week that kids this age can go up the stairs, and I thought Neacel will be behind on this because we don't have stairs in our home for him to learn. Yeah, he proved me wrong! We are so proud of him and how independent he is. He is full of energy and has a huge personality. Not to mention his temper or hitting, throwing tantrums and pinching! It is usually over wanting our food or not liking being told 'no.' But that's something we will share another day!
