Standing!

Jonah has always enjoyed a good stand, but today he has been doing an exceptional job of standing on his own (holding on) today!  I've placed him beside the couch or ottamon before, but both are up around his shoulders.  Yesterday he grabbed onto the side of the full laundry basket, about waist height, and stayed there for quite some time!  Today we went to play group and found some toys that were sized for standing, so he could hold on with one hand and play with the moving parts and buttons with the other hand!  He was so proud and excited to be able to do big-boy standing play.  He kept busy for a good half hour with very little intervention except when he got over-excited and let go.  :-)

Jonah's still working on pulling himself up.  He can get to sitting if the right object is beside him (Mommy's legs work well), but it is only a short time before he gets himself to his feet!
