Standing while holding on to things is getting easier for you…as it should be given how often you want to practice. Mommy and Daddy have seen you crawl over otherwise interesting toys to reach the side of your crib (now at its lowest setting) to walk your hands up the sides and pull yourself up. From there, you chatter at the view, the dog, anyone who will listen. Sometimes, you “cruise” around your crib. It took a few head bonks, but you have also now learned to sit down from standing. Another habit you have started is holding out your arms when you want to be picked up and leaning over in our arms to be set down. For now, such moves are endearing.
