Up the Stairs!
Well, I said I’d put up some video of Greta crawling, but I forgot until tonight. We were all just sitting around minding our business when we looked over, and Greta had made it up to the second step! Of course, we had to see if she could do more. She’s always incredibly motivated by the Xbox controllers (“If I could just get to that thing and eat it, everything would be better!”), so I put one on the steps and then just kept moving it up one stair at a time. Of course, being as camera shy as she is, she managed to the bulk of the climbing when the camera wasn’t there, but we got the takeoff and landing. I guess the camera was supposed to be off during the rest of the flight (get it? flight? stairs? [gestures for a high five] anyone? guys?) anyway. You know, because electronics and all that. But anyway, she made it all the way to the top with no help at all! I was spotting to make sure she didn’t plummet to a clavicle break like my poor niece last night (I found out today, and I need a bigger :’(. Get well soon, little Rachel!), but she didn’t even need me. She nailed it. Maybe I can get the whole process another time, but here’s tonight’s video. Enjoy.

WOW! I was just there a few days ago and she was just getting the hang of the pulling up thing. She’s amazing!

I love the accompaniment! I’m rather shocked that she can hold up those cheeks too! What a chunk.
