Oh dear!

So I was cleaning the kitchen this morning and noticed it was a little quiet, so I looked over to find Clara and did not see her. So I quickly went to search in the living room (which I can't see from the kitchen). Clara was halfway up our stairs!!!!! Are you kidding me? We have not taught her to climb stairs or anything! She just figured it out and tried it. I tried to keep in my panic and not scream so I would not scare her before I got to her. Man oh man! I just can''t believe how much she is growing and progressing. She says lot's of words now. (mama, dada, grandpa h"gampa", grandma "gama", uh-oh "uh-oh", what's that"wa-ta", ball "bow", dog "da", walk "wa", book "bu", no "na na", bear "be", bath tub "ba tu"and she tries to repeat almost every thing I say! She also has been walking between Chris and I for a few weeks now! AND she finally crawls as of about three weeks ago. And now she can climb stairs (not so excited about that one). But just in the last month she has progressed SO much I can hardly believe it! And it is also hard to believe that she will be one in just over a month!
