Gross motor development

We have conquered the step. He can now get up and down the back step. He has been attempting to get up the back step for the past month. He has looked longingly at the step. He has thrown things up the step in a hope that he would somehow then be able to get up there. Now we have victory!!! A different style everytime mind you but that doesn't matter. He has also managed to climb several times up onto the couch when I have had the cushions off. A week ago this was too tricky and he couldn't work it out.

He is also zooming around the house with his yet again modified bottom shuffle. He loves to jump and gets air. Mind you his jump is from his bottom. He is pulling up to his knees everywhere and starting to pull up to stand much more regularly as he gains confidence and strength.

He is also starting to squat occassionally and push up to make a bridge.

The only downside is that now he is jumping off the potty. Thankfully we have only had one code brown. The other times it has been empty when it has flipped over when he has pushed off. Maybe the big toilet is the way to go for a bit.
