The Stair Master

We have gates set up on the top and the bottom of our stairs for good reason.  Maybe its our fault for letting him try to climb them a few weeks ago, but now any chance Ben gets, he's climbing up those stairs.  The trouble isn't so much with him climbing up the stairs - he's actually really good at it!

Here he is at the starting gate... Get ready, get set...

GO!

And he's off...  Up..

Are you guys still watching me??

And right up to the top...

So now the trouble isn't with climbing up the stairs, its with climbing DOWN the stairs.  Ben just doesn't understand that his legs aren't long enough to walk straight down the stairs yet and he often just tries the "Superman" technique to fly down the stairs.

 

Fortunately Mommy was there to guide him along down the stairs and then pick him up so he can take a look at his most favorite picture in the whole house...

Even Ben agrees that he's the cutest baby around!!
