My baby just turned eight months. A few weeks ago she started pulling up on things which has been interesting. It is funny to watch her try to figure out which things are stable enough for her to pull up on. the couch is OK; Boxes, little plastic chairs, and the other babies at co-op are not. Yesterday I caught her standing by herself for a few minutes as she switched from holding onto her sister to a chair.
You would think by the time the fourth goes through these stages it wouldn't hold half the excitement, but it is still brand new. Now it is even better because the sibling are experiencing it to. these moments are much more exciting when it is more than just mom and dad cheering her on and watching in awe.
We have been debating what to do with the stairs. the logical and most ready answer is to get a gate, but I am afraid that would do more harm to the other members of the family as they navigate it (if you know what I mean). I finally told the children that it was time to teach her how to go down the stairs on her belly, so they have commenced those lessons with great zeal, not sure Sariah is up for the intensity the lessons exhibit.
The older two walked at 10 months and it is looking as if she may do the same.
Too bad she couldn't remain this small, then we wouldn't ever have to have another one :)
