He can stand!!

Last week at my mom's, Connor pulled up twice using the coffee table, but I had my hand on him just in case he fell and bonked his face, so I wasn't 100% convinced he could do it on his own. Well, today during his nap( I use the term 'nap' loosely, he clearly wasn't sleeping!!) he pulled himself right to his feet in the crib, and proceeded to throw his soothers on to the floor! (I keep a couple in his crib at all times!) Now, I knew this was coming, because he had pulled up to his knees just a few days ago, but I wasn't expecting it so quickly!!

Here is a toy we got at the Gibbons wide Garage sale for $5! It was from our neighbors. As you can see it's got a perfect little grabby handle, which Connor likes to use to pull up on, so we decided this would be a downstairs carpet only toy!

(Actually, now that I look at it, you can't really see the handle in this picture at all! It's the same color as Connor's jammies!)

It's a good thing we moved it to the basement, because he was standing in no time!


Though halfway up he decided he needed to chew on his shirt:


After that Connor headed over to the couch to see if he could use that to stand. I asked him if he wanted my help, and this is the response I got:


So, he proceeded to do it all on his own!

Isn't he amazing? He just hopped right up on the couch! ;) Just Kidding! Of course we put him up there, but he did stay standing by the couch for quite a long time first!

And now for a couple silly pictures!
