Bubba and Little have both mastered the stairs – finally! Both can go up and down all alone. So, why then did today find this me doing this:
Well, because of this:
That’s right, my 9m old actually fell down a step today. I would feel like a terrible mother except how the HECK was I supposed to even be on the look out for that one? She is 9 MONTHS OLD!!
I was on the phone paying an anesthesia bill and I heard a “kabop – pause – scream”. It was the fastest over the phone bill paying ever – that woman was ready to be released from the crying in her ear!
KB was fine – more scared than hurt.
Seems we have entered a new phase. And with a tentative step taken today, we could be close to another. . .

I hate to admit it, but Clip fell down the steps months ago (only once…now I know!) And we have two sets of steps in our house and you can’t put a gate on the top or bottom (without drilling into the wood, which we are not inclined to do) so I spend HOURS of my day keeping Clip away from the stairs. I’m so glad you can put up a gate and hopefully that will solve the problem! ~annie
