The Stairmaster

So Mirah has been climbing the stairs for a while now, and she's gotten pretty good at going up. However, aside from one or two somewhat successful tries, she still hadn't figured out how to go down. On Sunday night she decided she was going to puzzle it out and so now she can go both up and down. In celebration she when up and down the stairs like 5 times before she went to bed Sunday. She'd climb to the last step before the top, then turn around and go back down, turn around and go back up... smiling all the while. She was quite proud.

On the standing/walking front, she can pretty much stand at will now, only occasionally needing something to steady herself, and she's getting really good at cruising. She still hasn't made it more than 3 or so steps without holding on to something, but she has walked pretty long distances a few times when we've held her hands. I'm sure it won't be long now.
