When I look back at how far we have come with Pyper from a defenceless little baby to a little lady who is just about walking I keep thinking and saying “she is growing up sooo fast” her latest trick since we have a split level home is what we call “backing up. Which we think is great before she use to go to the top of the stairs grunt and make funny noises to let us know that she wanted to come down but then found out that she couldn’t.

So we showed her to go down backwards its only 2 stairs which I think is great, and to her she is proud when she knows all she has to do is back around and then slide down the 2 stairs it’s great for us as if we don’t always see her go down the stairs we know she will be safe and not have to worry about her too much.

Remember if you want to teach your child something then show then a few times they love mimicking their parents and I know she will be a lot safer for it and it means we can teach her lots of other things!
