Stairs

We stopped by to visit Nanny & Nonno (my In-laws) this afternoon.  I had no idea how long Benjamin would last (as in, when would he need a nap)...but we thought we'd stop in to say hello.  It turned out that he was in a great mood, excited even and happy to crawl around and play with mega blocks, balls and a truck.  He was even really vocal about his excitement, which was totally cute! 

After being there a while, he ventured to their staircase, which he has looked at before, but this time he actually started to climb.  At first he needed a little assistance to make it up (he wanted to sit down after climbing one step - not a good idea).  But after making it the whole way up (about 7 steps) he was happy to explore the upstairs.  He did not want to turn around to go down the stairs on his tummy, he wanted to bump down each step on his bum.  The next time he headed up the stairs, more on his own, and continuously this time (no attempts to sit down after each step).  Again, I believe he was actually proud of himself once he made it to the top!

It is so great to see him grow and learn!
