"Stairway to Heaven"

Well, okay, more like stairway to the second floor.

Ayden has made a lot of progress in his mobility over the last few weeks. One thing he has figured out over that period is to climb the stairs. As you'll see from the video below, it was a struggle when he first started, mainly because he was trying to lift his knee directly up to the next step. He was a little too short to pull that off without considerable effort, so he couldn't make it very far before he ran out of gas. Once he let me show him how much easier it would be for him to stand up before he lifts his knee to the next step, he could go from the bottom to the top in one trip. Now, he's a pro.

It's amazing to see what a little kid can do when focused and determined. Now, if we could only get him to approach his eating the same way...
