Wright has mastered stairs. He's been able to go up them since seven months or so and week before last he has mastered his way down. For such a wild little guy, he is amazingly careful on the steps. I do love our set-up too though-carpet and a couple landings to reduce the hardness and distance of any downward rolls! I love how Wright goes down the steps. He has the backward scoot down, but can't initiate that way so at the first step of every landing he goes down head first then turns sideways to get his whole body on the step and then goes down backwards after that. I saw him try to scoot backwards once to get down that first step but he was faced the wrong way so he scooted backward away from the step! It's so fun to watch him maneuver! He will often lay flat on his belly to look and reach under furniture and I don't know why but the sight cracks me up-I don't remember Journey doing that!
Wright has always been fascinated with lights. It is now officially his first consistent sign-(raises hand toward light and open and closes hand-and now he often snaps his fingers with it???). He will often look up in a room at a light (either on or off) and I will say "light". He will then raise his arm and open and close his hand. We will then play turning the light on and off which gets lots of hand raising and squeezing!! ALL THE WHILE WITH A HUGE SMILE ON HIS FACE!!!!!!!!!!!
Another milestone that we're happy to have him hit as you can see from picture-Wright will now willfully spit foreign objects out of his mouth on his own or at request pretty regularly-GREAT since EVERYTHING GOES IN THERE!! Although not everything comes back out whole-like the ladybug yesterday--EWW!
