I guess it is time for us to invest in a few safety gates. We discovered this weekend that Kendal has taught her self how to climb up the steps. Mike will have to get it on video. She laughs the whole time doing it, and she goes really fast. She has made it up the whole flight of stairs in about a minute.

We are still waiting for Kendal to take those first unassisted steps. She is cruising around with the walker and if you hold her hands. She will stand without any help or toys holding her up. So we fear that walking alone is just around the corner.

Kendal did great at swimming lessons this week. It appears that Ben might have gotten used to swimming, since he only cried for a minute or two. Maddy looked like a pro, floating on her back with the life jacket on.

We will post new pictures later this week when Mike is done painting the basement.
