"Oh, when did he start doing that?"

Sooooooo.... Micah likes to try out new skills while someone else (other than Nate or I) is watching him. Because of this, we weren't entirely surprised when my sister-in-law Amy asked us how long he had been climbing stairs...... WHAT? Hmm, that's new :P We looked over and sure enough, he was on the 5th or 6th stair (under Amy's watchful eye, thank goodness) and he had gotten there without any assistance. Yikes. I was suddenly really glad that the previous owners of our house had little girls and left a gate installed at the bottom of our stairs that allows us to close them off.

Two days after his first stair climbing experience, Micah followed me up our entire staircase without Nate having to help or catch him at any point..... he's growing up!
