Here's a video of Callen going down the stairs (CLICK ON IT TO PLAY). He refuses to do it the safe way on the belly. (and that noise at the end is me tripping over something while backing up while videoing)

12/7/11 He climbs!
Starting over the weekend, C has been demonstrating his ability to climb stairs.
He was kinda slow here because L was right in front of him but usually he is SO fast. you turn away for a second and he's half way up the stairs. we had to put a gate at the bottom of the stairs in the basement because all he'd do if we were down here was climb the stairs.
Tonight when I was nursing C and watching the singing contest X-Factor, he stopped nursing and started clapping for Melanie Amaro and continued to clap, smile, and dance through her whole song. So cute. I'm glad he can recognize such great talent at such a young age ;)

Friday, 9/12/08...doing better...more milestones...
Knock on wood, I think we're doing better today...both with our health and L's crankiness...at least so far. :) Anyone with kids knows that can change in an instant. L still sounds congested and sometimes has a cough. I'm trying to get caught up with things while L's napping since I feel like I've been in a dark whole the last couple of days.
It seems the only way i can get L to sit still long enough to take a pic these days is to strap her into her high chair!
here's her in one of her new "fall" outfits. I had to wash all her 12-18mo. stuff so she could start wearing it since it was fall-like yesterday and today. The pants are borrowed from auntie K and cousin S. The top I got on clearance in January :) You can't tell but it's a pink top with little silver dots on it...too cute!
More milestones... L can now open the doors in the house. We have the lever kind so she stands on her tippytoes and she can just reach the end of the lever and then pulls it down to open it. I discovered this when I was in the bathroom today and she was on the other side of a closed door! lol!
She's also quite proficient at climbing the stairs. She's needs no prodding; she'll just start climbing and won't stop until she's at the top and through the gate.
L would take 3 or 4 baths per day if you'd let her. She's constantly asking for a bath if we're near the bathroom w/the tub.
She can now reach the kitchen table, which I think I mentioned before, but now she can reach her sippy cup on the table and put it back up on the table when she's done.
She's been "using" a spoon for a while now, or at least demands that she has one if I have one, but she is more interested in taking the food from the bowl (that she's managed to get on the spoon) and smear it all over the tray rather than actually put it in her mouth. Yea lots of oatmeal and yogurt all over the place! (I hope you can sense my sarcasm!!)
Yesterday, she got off the couch all by herself. She gets on her tummy and then pushes herself off so she lands on her feet. Ever since I went to my mom's at the beginning of July, we've been turning her around so that she goes off feet first instead of taking faceplants off the couch, as that was her preferred method whether we had a hold of her or not. Apparently, it paid off and now she knows how to do it herself b/c she did it all morning long. Now to figure out how to get her to be able to get onto the couch herself! She's just not quite tall enough.
Yesterday, she stood in the bathtub for quite awhile without any support. I think she's starting to take more risk with that but she's not about to be rushed into anything! She'll only walk holding on to your hands if she wants to; otherwise, she throws a fit and refuses to stand.

Thursday, 9/4/08 crawling up the stairs...
L crawled up the whole staircase today for the first time totally unassisted and unmotivated. Before, we always had to have something she wanted a couple stairs above her and keep moving it so she'd go up. Usually she'd get half way by herself and then get scared so we'd have to put stuff in front of her to keep her moving. Well, today there was absolutely nothing on the stairs and she crawled all the way to the top and then through the gate and into her room. :)
She had a bunch of grapes today. She kept asking for more so I guess she likes them. She even got to one of them before I had a chance to cut it in half (you're supposed to to reduce choking hazard) but she bit it in half and didn't try to eat it whole so that was good.
She's definitely taller than she used to be...either that or smarter b/c she's getting into a lot more than she used to. She can now reach the third shelf on the bookcase, not just the bottom two, which means she's pulled stuff off that she's not supposed to like picture frames, pictures, and books. She's also figured out how to pull all the cd jewels off the bookcase. And today she figured out how to pull on of my photo albums off the shelf, which of course is a BIG no, no! She also can open and close one of the filing cabinet drawers and one of D's desk drawers that has all his computer games in it. She likes opening and closing the cases that the games come in and she got the cds out of one of them yesterday...I'm sure D will love that when he finds out (not!). A couple weeks ago, I realized that she's capable of responding to the command, "put that back," whether she does it or not is a whole 'nother story.
Her favorite sign is still "book," which she signs all day long!
She didn't like the grass touching her feet. D says she's just like me (grass is so itchy!!). ;) So I put her feet up on the wings of the airplane and she was ok.
she really wanted the phone!
talking on the phone. I tried to get some without the phone but she cried so that was no good.
