Climbing the Stairs

Tobias and Lisa have been back from the US for almost three weeks now. I have not put a post on my blog since... That is in part because it wasn't until last friday that I had a daddy-day and work was quite busy. The little time I had to spend with Lisa and Tobias I wanted to use to the full extent. But then I did not post on my daddy day last week. So, still a lame excuse.

But, I will make it up today because I will post a few pictures today showing some significant developmental steps for Tobias, starting with one that occurred in the US, at Nonny's house. Tobias started climbing the stairs! Apparently he already started at somebody else's house with just one or two steps to a platform, but he really started at Nonny's house as you can see in this picture. As you probably remember we have quite challenging staircases in our house... but the ones at Nonny's ar straight. Also, the steps are wider and nicely carpeted, which makes things somewhat easier I guess. But still, look at him... It seems like he is saying "come on mommy, hurry up, I'm waiting for you!". Anyway, he enjoyed it a lot.

Today he also started climbing our stairs. We have two staircases in our house, one from the first floor to the second floor which is "the evil staircase" and is not carpeted, very narrow and takes some getting used to. The other is a little wider, carpeted and in that respect less of a challenge and easier to climb and descend, which is exactly what Tobias did today! We are trying to teach him to call one of us before he climbs the stairs and he did that too, so, he was a big boy! Way to go Tobias!
