Ethan has been pulling himself up more since we've been back in Hungary. Now, he's pulling himself up all the time and letting go with success for a few seconds. Below is a picture where he was very entertained by Gary playing the guitar and wanted to help Daddy play.
Ethan started crawling at the end of our time in the States, but he wasn't crawling around real fast or a lot. We have 3 stairs that go from the dining room into the living room. They go across the room, so they are too long to be gated off, plus, we want Ethan to learn how to get up and down stairs correctly. It would be nice if they were carpeted, but the houses in Hungary have the hard tile floors instead of carpet. Not too long after we returned from the US, Ethan made his way up the 3 stairs.
And, of course, what does Mom do? She gets her camera out to take pictures of it. My first thought was actually that I wanted Gary to be able to see it.
He used the space of the whole stairs, but he finally made it up. I think it was the next day or the following that he continued and wanted to go up the "big stairs". Gary stayed behind him and let him do it. He climbed up all 15 stairs! We mostly wanted to see if he could do it, but decided not to let him do that again for awhile. Now, he is learning how to get down the 3 stairs. Once we get him started on the top one, he can get down the other 2 fine.
