It’s a vertical world…
…and Lina has entered it. Today when I got home Stephanie and Lina met me at the bottom of the stairs, as is their wont (and which I enjoy immensely). I always get a beautiful smile from Stephanie, a super-cute smile from Lina, and sometimes a shout of “Papa!” (usually from Lina). Stephanie told me that Teacher Jackie said Lina had been standing on her own today. As Stephanie wrote, Lina’s been pulling up on everything lately, and she’s been working on standing for a while now (I mean free-standing, without a larger human or other stable object to hold onto), and I’ve seen her do it for a couple seconds. But today she was doing it (if a bit wobbly) for extended periods.
And who do you think was the first to head upstairs? That’s right. Lina climbed her first stair today. And so of course she had to climb all of them (she’s like her mother that way), which she did.
