Climbing

Mary doesn't seem to be a daredevil, but she is way more of a climber than John ever was at this age. For example, she's been happily climbing stairs for months, when John was still refusing to do it at 18 months. I couldn't teach John to come down off a bed safely (sliding on his tummy, feet first) I think until he was closer to a year and a half, but Mary is already a pro at that. This week Mary learned how to climb onto the children's chairs, on which she delights to sit and swing her legs or to stand.
