We're getting a safety expert on Saturday, and my wife was holding off on getting gates until we got his advice on brands.
Note, when I said, "It looks like he is discovering the game known as 'stairs'," I meant right at that moment. I began typing that as I saw him crawl over to the bottom of the stairs and look up. By the time I finished the post and got over there, he'd managed to put both hands on the bottom step, stand up, and was trying to figure out how to get his knee up...
Cheers,
Ben
