Ava at the Gate

Ava has recently discovered the stairs in our entrance-way. She used to just crawl through the hallway and not pay any attention to them, but now she'll go right up to the gate and pull herself into a standing position. This morning she played there for quite a while, as she had a little friend to keep her occupied! Maddux has quickly caught on to the fact that if he stands on one side of the gate he's free from any tail pulling that might come from his eager and unpredictable little sister!! I'm not sure what Ava thinks of this new "game", but she seemed to enjoy reaching up for him as he watched down from the safe spot.
