dolly cart & stair climbing

There's no getting around it - our little bug is a girl on the go. She has mastered crawling and can bust down the hallway in the blink of an eye (which means I can never take my eyes off of her again!), and she is easily pulling herself up on everything. At first, it took so much effort for her and she would need a ledge or something to really grab onto. Now she can pull up to standing on anything - a wall, our legs, her toys, etc. She loves to be standing and walk around holding our hands.

During a spontaneous Saturday trip to Walmart last weekend we ended up buying her a cute little doll stroller for her to push around. It is taking her some time to figure out how it works, but for now she's generally more interested in pulling out whatever dolly we put in the stroller.
She has also been very interested in climbing the stairs. I tried to avoid it for a while, but Collin decided we might as well let her do it and try to teach her how to get down properly. It's fun trying to impart wisdom on your 9 month old.

I LOVE the stair climbing! Way to go Laila. That's nice that you have them in your house. We have to go to the park to get stairs. If you learn any tricks to teach her to go down them backwards, please let me know!
