Stand & Deliver
A major milestone today:
I was working on my computer in my study, while James was in the playpen behind me. Suddenly, he started laughing like mad. I turn around, and — for the first time ever — he’s stood up all by himself without using crib bars or the like to pull himself up. He was grinning ear to ear and spent the next 15 minutes using his newly standing position to walk around the perimeter of the playpen, with both hands on the upper rail.
Later on, his mom swung by and he did it again, again laughing like mad at his accomplishment.
By evening, when we stopped by at Ellis Truss, it was a matter of course for him, and he was doing it to get at things he wanted to see in the office and to climb up onto his cousin’s toys.
(I know: Screenshot or it didn’t happen. I’ll get a photo ASAP.)
