Climbing Stairs

Usually I don't want Owen anywhere near the stairs, but lately he has taken an interest in climbing them. He climbed his first stair at Grandma Wade's over the holdiays, then proceeded to fall off it. Thank goodness for soft carpet. That's not really the case at our house, so he has to be closely monitored. I've seen him go up 2 stairs, then loose steam. I can't believe that he's big enough to climb stairs already!
