My 7-month old daughter can now crawl up the stairs! This morning she crawled over to the bottom of our staircase and pulled herself up to standing position. She's been doing this for about 2 weeks, but she has never attempted to climb up the stairs. Her first efforts came up about an inch or two short - she was trying to get her foot onto the step. This is how she crawls most of the time - on her hands and feet, not her knees. Once she figured out that she could put her knee on the step and pull the rest of her body up, she was on her way. The boys were totally excited and cheered her on all the way up. Mommy was playing the "safety" role while I recorded it with our video camera. It's both exciting and sad to see her achieve these developmental milestones.
I guess I had better put up some child safety gates!
