Stand Up! Stand Up!

Joseph's development seems to be accelerating at a rapid pace. Today, he is officially pulling himself up to standing. This was the scene in his crib this morning:


This afternoon, he was trying to step on the bumper to get an extra boost - the bumper has now been removed. We also have a video monitor hanging behind the crib. During his nap, I turned it on and there he was standing and trying to take out the monitor. Good thing it is out of his reach...for now.

He is also obsessed with the steps from our kitchen/breakfast nook into our den. We'll be in one side of the den and then all of the sudden he'll take off at full speed towards the stairs. He attempts to climb the stairs, but hasn't quite mastered getting his legs up the top step. Video of his attempt:

I sense walking is not far away...

Oh my, he is standing up on his bumper. There will be no stopping this child.

aaahhh/hahaha!! this is the most ridiculous yet adorable crawl I have ever seen. But if I were you, keep him from walking as long as you can. Actually, don't. It will be really entertaining watching you all run after him as he runs away as fast as possible.

This kid is so cute! I can't wait to meet the little ball of energy.
