Pro Stair Climber

Sophie has mastered the stairs. I was downstairs doing the laundry earlier this week and I could hear Sophie whining up in the Family Room. I was quickly switching out loads and needed to get it done or else it would have been forgotten until the next day. I continue to hear Sophie whinning, but it was getting further away. I yelled upstairs to Ashlan, "Where is Sophie?". We both ran to her at the same time and we caught her 1/2 way up the stairs heading to the Kitchen. That was the first time she had ever attempted to climb them. She's figured it out on her own and hasn't slipped and fallen once (knock on wood). I remember plenty of times with the other 3 girls that I would literally dive to save them and catch them as they were heading face down the stairs. I've never bought a gate and I'm hoping I won't have to. :)
