Scaling New Heights

Sort of. Just now Zola climbed her first step on our staircase! I watched from a few feet away as she pulled herself up on the first two stairs, going from her knees to her feet and then, once she started lifting up her legs, I scooted over to spot her from behind. And there she went, gracefully, deliberately, and oh-so-daintily as ever. I didn’t wait to see if she was going to attempt a second step. I swooped her up right away, as I noticed that she smelled pretty bad. Knowing how much my girl hates a poopy diaper, I guess Zola was trying to get upstairs to the changing table.
