I'm getting really good at going up and down stairs. I was starting to feel like a bag of shopping with being carted up and down the steps all the time, so I insisted on doing it myself. I was a bit slow at first, but now I can shimmey down the steps almost as quickly as Mum walks. I go feet first on my tummy and slide down in no time. I've just started trying to step down like everyone else does, but that's feeling pretty precarious at the moment. Going up I used to crawl hands first, but over the last week I've been walking up while hanging on to the rails. I'm pretty pleased with myself in being able to step up like Oskar does, although I am quite slow. Sometimes I hold on to Mum's hand and we walk up together - that makes it quicker and I feel a bit safer.

Something I like to do when we're at home is to help Mum when she sits on the toilet. I've noticed that she always tears off some toilet paper and sticks it down in the toilet, so I decided to help. I tear off a bit of paper and shove it between her legs for her. One time I noticed some hair near her legs and thought that shouldn't be there, I don't have any of that. So I reached in, grabbed it and pulled. But it seemed to be stuck and Mum yelped instead. I've no idea what that was about. So I keep helping with the toilet paper, I just ignore the hair.
