Hannah loves stairs

It’s true. Not only is she really good at climbing them…being a natural who just started scrambling up the stairs one day without ever having practiced the process before…but she also just likes to be near them. Turns out, they’re just the right size for her to sit on and swing her legs while still being able to hop up into a burst of walking without any fuss or fear of falling. We did a wedding last night at the Capitol and she had a blast lounging on those big sweeping granite stairs. She pumped those chubby little legs with so much excitement on her face at the idea that she was sitting up on her own without mommy having to arrange things for her or help her down. She’d jump up and make a circle in the 20 feet in front of us and then she’d come back, crawl onto the step, turn around, schootch herself forward, and she’d swing her feet some more. She also loved being able to tap her toes to the floor and every time she made that noise with her little shoes she just grinned. “Mommy…look what I can do!”
The joys of achievement!
