Does it sound like fun? Let get started!

We taught her to climb upstairs and downstairs, encouraged her to cruise while holding onto furniture, and allowed her to crawl excitedly from one room to another.

She crawled from one room to the other, enamored with stairs and practiced climbing up and down, learned to cruise while holding onto furniture, and fell in love with the novelty of standing — particularly in the bathtub. Her personality began to emerge. She was persistent on things she set her mind on and would keep practicing until she mastered it. She was also developing a mind of her own. Rather than passively accepting any food I shoveled into her mouth, she began to selectively accept those she enjoyed and reject those falling out of her favor.
