Backwards

The husband and my father have both told me that the baby is able to climb up on to the couch now - sometimes off the giftbox we have placed so our tiny chihuahua can get up there to escape her, and sometimes not even bothering with that.

The giftbox has also been good for her as she got used to stepping up, climbing over and slithering down it. She is quite confident getting down off things headfirst. This is not actually a good thing.

We've been trying to teach her 'backwards!' so she learns to back herself off the couch or bed or anything that's too high to be leaving headfirst. However, we haven't yet worked out a term to call out to get her to work out to spin around... so she'll near the edge of the bed, hear the 'backwards' call and start reversing, usually veering to the side and getting stuck at the footboard.

But boy does she look proud!
