We have been so lucky. Kylie JUST started climbing the stairs. In the past she would climb up one step and stop there. But a few days ago she kept going and climbed all the way up! I've been dreading this day because our stairs are not safety gate friendly. The bottom 4 stairs are really really wide and curvy which makes it almost impossible for a gate. So, I went to Target yesterday to buy a gate to at least put on the 5th stair up where there are walls on both sides. I figured if she fell down from there, at least she wouldn't really hurt herself, just a few steps would only probably scare her, and me. Anyways they didn't have the one I wanted although I did find one that would have probably worked on the bottom of our wide stair case but it was too expensive and Mark wouldn't let me buy it. I tried putting our kitchen chairs along the bottom but she went right under them! So we have resorted to this...and so far it seems to be working!

Very creative. I have to say, the angle that the picture was taken with Kylie on it really threw me for a loop. I'm not sure what it was, but it totally looks like she's going DOWN the stairs, face forward...it's like an optical illusion :)
Love it, do you remember me saying that she might crawl under the chairs? How funny! I love the new set-up.
What a riot! Brings back fond memories of Lily at that age. We had to do very similar stuff to keep her out of trouble. But somehow they always find a way around ;) I tagged you today. Go to my blog for details. If you don't want to play along no big deal. I won't boycott you or anything
So funny. We had that problem with Ethan and found if we turned the kitchen chairs on their sides he couldn't climb over or under or scoot them to the side as easy.
