Breakthrough

I was going to write how Marek no longer pulls himself up, instead puts out a hand for balance and squat thrust himself up. But we had a breakthough:

For weeks I've been showing Marek the stairs, trying to encourage him to climb them. He'd stand up to go get something but he would give up when he realized it wasn't just a standing up issue.

Then just now, he climbed 2 whole stairs to get me, after watching me climb the stairs baby style. I interrupted him with hip hip hoorays. Then put him down to see how far he'd go. With a book light at the top of the landing for motivation, Marek climbed the whole flight. Fast to.

The video botched, so I'll have to get you more later. In the mean time here's some pictures.
